Unchanging

Psalm 102:18-28

Good News Translation (GNT)

¹⁸ Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done,
    so that people not yet born will praise him.
¹⁹ The Lord looked down from his holy place on high,
    he looked down from heaven to earth.
²⁰ He heard the groans of prisoners
    and set free those who were condemned to die.
²¹ And so his name will be proclaimed in Zion,
    and he will be praised in Jerusalem
²²     when nations and kingdoms come together
    and worship the Lord.

²³ The Lord has made me weak while I am still young;
    he has shortened my life.
²⁴ O God, do not take me away now
    before I grow old.

O Lord, you live forever;
²⁵ long ago you created the earth,
    and with your own hands you made the heavens.
²⁶ They will disappear, but you will remain;
    they will all wear out like clothes.
You will discard them like clothes,
    and they will vanish.
²⁷ But you are always the same,
    and your life never ends.
²⁸ Our children will live in safety,
    and under your protection
    their descendants will be secure.
