My wonted strength and force he hath

Verse 1

My wonted strength and force he hath abated in the way, my days he also shortened hath: thus therefore did I say, My God, in mid-time of my days take thou me not away: from age to age eternally thy years endure and stay.

Verse 2

The firm foundation of the earth of old time thou hast laid; the heavens also are the work which thine own hands have made. Thou shalt for evermore endure, but they shall perish all; yea, every one of them wax old, like to a garment, shall:

Verse 3

Thou, as a vesture, shalt them change, and they shall changed be; but thou the same art, and thy years are to eternity. The children of thy servants shall continually endure; and in thy sight, O Lord, their seed shall be established sure.
