I say, “My God, do not take me up in the middle of my days. Your years endure through all generations!
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
So the heavens and the earth were completed along with their entire array.
Before the mountains were born, or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God!
But You, Adonai, are exalted forever.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Adonai made the heavens.
For in six days Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Thus Adonai blessed Yom Shabbat, and made it holy.
I said: “In the prime of my life, I am to enter the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the rest of my years.”
“Ah, my Lord Adonai! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm—nothing is too hard for You!
