Psalms

Psalm 102:25–27

²⁵In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth,

and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

²⁶They will perish, but You remain;

they will all wear out like a garment.

Like clothing You will change them,

and they will be passed on.

²⁷But You remain the same,

and Your years will never end.^a
