- But you, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.
- You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.
- For her stones are dear to your servants; her very dust moves them to pity.
- The nations will fear the name of the LORD, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.
- For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.
|
- But You, O LORD, abide forever, And Your name to all generations.
- You will arise and have compassion on Zion; For it is time to be gracious to her, For the appointed time has come.
- Surely Your servants find pleasure in her stones And feel pity for her dust.
- So the nations will fear the name of the LORD And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
- For the LORD has built up Zion; He has appeared in His glory.

- He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea.
- Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD :
- "The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth,
- to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death."
- So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem
|
- He has regarded the prayer of the destitute And has not despised their prayer.
- This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.
- For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven the LORD gazed upon the earth,
- To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free those who were doomed to death,
- That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion And His praise in Jerusalem,
|
- when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the LORD.
|
- When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
