Psalm 102:12–22

12 But you, Lord, are enthroned forever;q

your fame endures to all generations.r

13 You will rise up and have compassion on Zion,

for it is time to show favor to her—

the appointed time has come.s

14 For your servants take delight in its stones

and favor its dust.t

15 Then the nations will fear the name of the Lord,

and all the kings of the earth your glory,u

16 for the Lord will rebuild Zion;

he will appear in his glory.v

17 He will pay attention to the prayer of the destitute

and will not despise their prayer.w

18 This will be written for a later generation,

and a people who have not yet been created will praise the Lord:x

19 He looked down from his holy heights—

the Lord gazed out from heaven to earthy—

20 to hear a prisoner’s groaning,

to set free those condemned to die,A,z

21 so that they might declare

the name of the Lord in Zion

and his praise in Jerusalemaa

22 when peoples and kingdoms are assembled

to serve the Lord.ab
