He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 102 of Psalms. Psalm 102 is a prayer from someone deeply afflicted who nevertheless keeps his eyes fixed on God’s permanence. The individual’s fragility is compared to dried grass and a declining shadow, while the Lord remains. The restoration of Zion acquires a generational dimension: future generations will know the glory of God. The contrast between mortality and eternity constitutes the theological axis of the psalm.

wenn die Völker zusammenkommen und die Königreiche, dem HERRN zu dienen.
Él afligió mi fuerza en el camino; Acortó mis días.
Él debilitó mi fuerza en el camino y acortó mis días.
Il a brisé ma force dans la route, Il a abrégé mes jours.
Egli ha tra via abbattute le mie forze; Egli ha scorciati i miei giorni.
Abateu a minha força no caminho; abreviou os meus dias.
他使我的力量半途衰弱, 使我的年日短少。
