…For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; to declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem; when the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.  I said, “O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.  Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.  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 be changed: but Thou art the same, and Thy years shall have no end.
The children of Thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before Thee.”
Psalm 102:19 – 28
