22. (23) When the peoples are gathered together in assembly, and the mamlachot (kingdoms), to serve Hashem.
23. (24) He bowed down my ko'ach in the derech; He cut short my yamim.
24. (25) I said, O my G-d, take me not away in the midst of my yamim; Thy years are dor dorim (throughout all generations).
25. (26) Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of ha'aretz; and Shomayim is the ma'aseh (work) of Thy hands.
26. (27) They shall perish, but Thou shalt remain; and all of them shall wear out like a beged (garment); like a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall be changed;
27. (28) But Thou art the same, and Thy shanot (years) shall have no end.
28. (29) The children of Thy avadim shall dwell, and their zera shall be established before Thee.
