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,
