But you, Lord, are enthroned for ever :
and your name shall be known throughout all generations.
You will arise and have mercy upon Zion :
for it is time to pity her, the appointed time has come.
Your servants love even her stones :
and her dust moves them to pity.
Then shall the nations fear your name, O Lord :
and all the kings of the earth your glory,
When the Lord has built up Zion :
when he shows himself in his glory,
When he turns to the prayer of the destitute :
and does not despise their supplication.
Let this be written down for those who come after :
and a people yet unborn will praise the Lord.
For the Lord has looked down from the height of his holiness :
from heaven he has looked upon the earth,
To hear the groaning of the prisoner :
to deliver those condemned to die;
That they may proclaim the name of the Lord in Zion :
and his praises in Jerusalem,
When the nations are gathered together :
and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
He has broken my strength before my time :
he has cut short my days.
Do not take me away, O God, in the midst of my life :
you, whose years extend through all generations.
In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth :
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They shall perish, but you will endure :
they shall all grow old like a garment;
like clothes you will change them,
and they shall pass away.
But you are the same for ever :
and your years will never fail.
The children of your servants shall rest secure :
and their seed shall be established in your sight.
