12. My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
13. But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
14. Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
15. For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
16. And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
17. For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
18. He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
19. Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
20. Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
21. That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:
22. That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;
23. When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
