God's Eternal Reign and Promise to Zion

Psalms 102:12-22

But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor— the appointed time has come.

For Your servants delight in her stones and take pity on her dust.

So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory.

For the LORD will rebuild Zion; He has appeared in His glory.

He will turn toward the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer.

Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.

For He looked down from the heights of His sanctuary; the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth

to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,

that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,
