19. For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary.From heaven, the Lord saw the earth;
20. to hear the groans of the prisoner;to free those who are condemned to death;
21. that men may declare the Lord’s name in Zion,and his praise in Jerusalem;
22. when the peoples are gathered together,the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
23. He weakened my strength along the course.He shortened my days.
24. I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days.Your years are throughout all generations.
