19. He from his sanctuary's heighthath downward cast his eye;And from his glorious throne in heav'nthe Lord the earth did spy;
20. That of the mournful prisonerthe groanings he might hear,To set them free that unto deathby men appointed are:
21. That they in Sion may declarethe Lord's most holy name,And publish in Jerusalemthe praises of the same;
22. When as the people gather shallin troops with one accord,When kingdoms shall assembled beto serve the highest Lord.
23. My wonted strength and force he hathabated in the way,And he my days hath shortened:
24. Thus therefore did I say,My God, in mid-time of my daystake thou me not away:From age to age eternallythy years endure and stay.
