10. because of your anger and wrath,because you picked me up and threw me away.
11. My days are like a shadow soon gone.I’m dried up like dead grass.
12. But you, Lord, rule forever!Your fame lasts from one generation to the next!
13. You will stand up—you’ll have compassion on Zionbecause it is time to have mercy on her—the time set for that has now come!
14. Your servants cherish Zion’s stones;they show mercy even to her dirt.
15. The nations will honor the Lord’s name;all the earth’s rulers will honor your glory
16. because the Lord will rebuild Zion;he will be seen there in his glory.
17. God will turn to the prayer of the impoverished;he won’t despise their prayers.
18. Let this be written down for the next generationso that people not yet created will praise the Lord:
19. The Lord looked down from his holy summit,surveyed the earth from heaven,
20. to hear the prisoners’ groans,to set free those condemned to death,
21. that the Lord’s name may be declared in Zionand his praise declared in Jerusalem,
22. when all people are gathered together—all kingdoms—to serve the Lord.
