11 My days
are like a shadow that lengthens,
And I wither away like grass.
12 But You, O
Lord, shall endure forever,
And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
13 You will arise
and have mercy on Zion;
For the time to favor her,
Yes, the set time, has come.
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
And show favor to her dust.
15 So the
1 nations shall
afear the name of the
Lord,
And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
16 For the
Lord shall build up Zion;
aHe shall appear in His glory.
17 aHe shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
And shall not despise their prayer.
18 This will be
awritten for the generation to come,
That
ba people yet to be created may praise the
Lord.
19 For He
alooked down from the height of His sanctuary;
From heaven the
Lord viewed the earth,
20 aTo hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To release those appointed to death,
21 To
adeclare the name of the
Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 aWhen the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the
Lord.
