Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down (102:10) My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass (102:11) But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations (102:12) Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come (102:13) For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof (102:14) So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory (102:15) When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory (102:16) He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer (102:17) This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord (102:18) For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth (102:19) To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death (102:20) To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem (102:21) When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord (102:22) He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days (102:23) I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations (102:24) Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands (102:25) They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed (102:26) But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end (102:27) The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee
(102:28)
