The third part.

 [verse 23]  My former force of strength he hath
abated in the way:
And shorter he did out my days,
thus I therefore did say,
 [verse 24]  My God, in midst of all my days;
now take me not away:
Thy years endure eternally,
from age to age for ay.

 [verse 25]  Thou the foundations of the earth
before all times hast laid:
And Lord, the heavens are the work
which thine own hands have made,
 [verse 26]  Yea, they shall perish and decay,
but thou shalt tarry still:
And they shall all in time wax old
even as a garment will.

 [verse 27]  Thou as a garment shalt them change,
and changed shall they be:
But thou dost still abide the same,
thy years do never flee.
 [verse 28]  The children of thy servants shall
continually endure:
And in thy sight their happy seed
for ever shall stand sure.
