21 To recount in Zion [the] name of Yahweh and praise his in Jerusalem.
That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem;

I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations.
25 Before the earth you founded and [were] [the] work of hands your [the] heavens.
Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.
26 They - they will perish and you you will endure and all of them like garment they will wear out like clothing you will change them and they may pass away.
They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall pass away;
27 And you [are] he and years your not they will come to an end.
But Thou art the selfsame, and Thy years shall have no end.
28 [the] children of Servants your they will dwell and offspring their before you it will be established.
The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall be established before Thee.'
