Psalms 102:13-28

DouayRheims(i) 13 (102:14) Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come. 14 (102:15) For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof. 15 (102:16) All the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. 16 (102:17) For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory. 17 (102:18) He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition. 18 (102:19) Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord: 19 (102:20) Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth. 20 (102:21) That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain: 21 (102:22) That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem; 22 (102:23) When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord. 23 (102:24) He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days. 24 (102:25) Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation. 25 (102:26) In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands. 26 (102:27) They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed. 27 (102:28) But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail. 28 (102:29) The children of thy servants shall continue and their seed shall be directed for ever.
