13 But you, O Lord, shall endure for ever ♦︎
and your name through all generations.
14 You will arise and have pity on Zion; ♦︎
it is time to have mercy upon her;
surely the time has come.
15 For your servants love her very stones ♦︎
and feel compassion for her dust.
16 Then shall the nations fear your name, O Lord, ♦︎
and all the kings of the earth your glory,
17 When the Lord has built up Zion ♦︎
and shown himself in glory;
18 When he has turned to the prayer of the destitute ♦︎
and has not despised their plea.
19 This shall be written for those that come after, ♦︎
and a people yet unborn shall praise the Lord.
20 For he has looked down from his holy height; ♦︎
from the heavens he beheld the earth,
21 That he might hear the sighings of the prisoner ♦︎
and set free those condemned to die;
22 That the name of the Lord may be proclaimed in Zion ♦︎
and his praises in Jerusalem,
23 When peoples are gathered together ♦︎
and kingdoms also, to serve the Lord.
24 He has brought down my strength in my journey ♦︎
and has shortened my days.
25 I pray, O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days; ♦︎
your years endure throughout all generations.
26 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, ♦︎
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
27 They shall perish, but you will endure; ♦︎
they all shall wear out like a garment.
28 You change them like clothing, and they shall be changed; ♦︎
but you are the same, and your years will not fail.
29 The children of your servants shall continue, ♦︎
and their descendants shall be established in your sight.
