172 When the people assembled together, and kings to serve the Lord.

He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days.

Call me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are unto generation and generation.

In the beginning, O Lord, Thou foundedst the earth: and the heavens are the works of Thy hands.

They shall perish, but Thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment.

And as a vesture Thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed: but Thou art always the self-same, and Thy years shall not fail.

The children of Thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed forever.

Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.
