12But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever;z

your renown enduresa through all generations.b

13You will arisec and have compassiond on Zion,

for it is timee to show favorf to her;

the appointed timeg has come.

14For her stones are dear to your servants;

her very dust moves them to pity.

15The nations will fearh the name of the Lord,

all the kingsi of the earth will revere your glory.

16For the Lord will rebuild Zionj

and appear in his glory.k

17He will respond to the prayerl of the destitute;

he will not despise their plea.

18Let this be writtenm for a future generation,

that a people not yet createdn may praise the Lord:

19“The Lord looked downo from his sanctuary on high,

from heaven he viewed the earth,

20to hear the groans of the prisonersp

and release those condemned to death.”

21So the name of the Lord will be declaredq in Zion

and his praiser in Jerusalem

22when the peoples and the kingdoms

assemble to worships the Lord.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever;

you are remembered throughout all generations.

You will arise and have pity on Zion;

it is the time to favor her;

the appointed time has come.

For your servants hold her stones dear

and have pity on her dust.

Nations will fear the name of the Lord,

and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.

For the Lord builds up Zion;

he appears in his glory;

he regards the prayer of the destitute

and does not despise their prayer.

Let this be recorded for a generation to come,

so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord:

that he looked down from his holy height;

from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,

to hear the groans of the prisoners,

to set free those who were doomed to die,

that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord,

and in Jerusalem his praise,

when peoples gather together,

and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

But you, Lord, are enthroned forever;

your fame endures to all generations.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion,

for it is time to show favor to her—

the appointed time has come.

For your servants take delight in its stones

and favor its dust.

Then the nations will fear the name of the Lord,

and all the kings of the earth your glory,

for the Lord will rebuild Zion;

he will appear in his glory.

He will pay attention to the prayer of the destitute

and will not despise their prayer.

This will be written for a later generation,

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

He looked down from his holy heights—

the Lord gazed out from heaven to earth—

to hear a prisoner’s groaning,

to set free those condemned to die,

so that they might declare

the name of the Lord in Zion

and his praise in Jerusalem

when peoples and kingdoms are assembled

to serve the Lord.

NLTNew Living Translation

But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever.

Your fame will endure to every generation.

You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem—

and now is the time to pity her,

now is the time you promised to help.

For your people love every stone in her walls

and cherish even the dust in her streets.

Then the nations will tremble before the Lord.

The kings of the earth will tremble before his glory.

For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem.

He will appear in his glory.

He will listen to the prayers of the destitute.

He will not reject their pleas.

Let this be recorded for future generations,

so that a people not yet born will praise the Lord.

Tell them the Lord looked down

from his heavenly sanctuary.

He looked down to earth from heaven

to hear the groans of the prisoners,

to release those condemned to die.

And so the Lord’s fame will be celebrated in Zion,

his praises in Jerusalem,

when multitudes gather together

and kingdoms come to worship the Lord.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

But you, O Yahweh, abide forever,

and your remembrance from generation to generation.

You rise up and take pity on Zion,

because it is time to favor it,

for the appointed time has come.

Your servants take pleasure in her stones,

and show favor to its dust.

Then the nations will fear the name of Yahweh,

and all the kings of the earth your glory.

For Yahweh will rebuild Zion;

he will appear in his glory.

He will turn his attention to the prayer of the destitute

and will not despise their prayer.

Let this be written for the next generation,

so that a people yet to be created may praise Yah,

that he looked down from his holy height.

Yahweh looked from heaven over the earth

to hear the groaning of the prisoner,

to liberate those destined to die,

so that they may make known in Zion the name of Yahweh,

and his praise in Jerusalem,

when the peoples assemble,

together with kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.

KJV 1900King James Version

But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever;

And thy remembrance unto all generations.

Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion:

For the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones,

And favour the dust thereof.

So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord,

And all the kings of the earth thy glory.

When the Lord shall build up Zion,

He shall appear in his glory.

He will regard the prayer of the destitute,

And not despise their prayer.

This shall be written for the generation to come:

And the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;

From heaven did the Lord behold the earth;

To hear the groaning of the prisoner;

To loose those that are appointed to death;

To declare the name of the Lord in Zion,

And his praise in Jerusalem;

When the people are gathered together,

And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
