12. And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations.
13. Thou--Thou risest--Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come.
14. For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.
15. And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of the earth Thine honour,
16. For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour,
17. He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.
18. This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.
19. For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,
20. To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
21. To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem,
22. In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms--to serve Jehovah.
23. He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days.
24. I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations [are] Thine years.
25. Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands [are] the heavens.
26. They--They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.
27. And Thou [art] the same, and Thine years are not finished.
