²² Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.

¹³ Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion `endureth' throughout all generations.

²⁴ I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁵ Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁶ 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:

²⁷ But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.
