Psalms 102:13-28

Leeser(i) 13 (102:14) Thou wilt indeed arise; thou wilt have mercy upon Zion; for it is time to favor her, for the appointed time is coming. 14 (102:15) For thy servants hold dear her stones, and her very dust they cherish. 15 (102:16) Then shall nations fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory: 16 (102:17) When the Lord shalt have built up Zion, he appeareth in his glory; 17 (102:18) When he hath regarded the prayer of the forsaken, and doth not despise their prayer. 18 (102:19) This shall be written down for the latest generation; and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord. 19 (102:20) For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; the Lord hath cast from heaven his view to the earth: 20 (102:21) To hear the sighing of the prisoner; to loosen those that are doomed to death: 21 (102:22) That men may proclaim in Zion the name of the Lord, and his praise in Jerusalem; 22 (102:23) When people are gathered together, and kingdoms, to serve the Lord.— 23 (102:24) He hath weakened on the way my strength; he hath shortened my days. 24 (102:25) I will say, O my God! take me not away in the midst of my days: throughout all generations are thy years. 25 (102:26) In olden times didst thou lay the foundations of the earth; and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 26 (102:27) These will indeed perish, but thou wilt ever exist: yea, all of them will wear out like a garment; as a vesture wilt thou change them, and they will be changed; 27 (102:28) But thou art ever the same, and thy years will have no end. 28 (102:29) The children of thy servants will dwell securely, and their seed will be firmly established before thee.
