O God, do not take me away now before I grow old. O LORD, you live forever;

They will disappear, but you will remain; they will all wear out like clothes. You will discard them like clothes, and they will vanish.

But the LORD is king forever; he has set up his throne for judgment.

O Lord, you have always been our home.

Before you created the hills or brought the world into being, you were eternally God, and will be God forever.

God has always been your defense; his eternal arms are your support. He drove out your enemies as you advanced, and told you to destroy them all.

The LORD, who rules and protects Israel, the LORD Almighty, has this to say: "I am the first, the last, the only God; there is no other god but me.

"You will no longer be forsaken and hated, A city deserted and desolate. I will make you great and beautiful, A place of joy forever and ever.

But you, O LORD, are king forever and will rule to the end of time.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, "Don't be afraid! I am the first and the last.

I am the living one! I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I have authority over death and the world of the dead.

LORD, you will always be proclaimed as God; all generations will remember you.

Tell the Israelites that I, the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, have sent you to them. This is my name forever; this is what all future generations are to call me.
