God's Eternal Reign and Promise to Zion

12

But you, ADONAI, are enthroned forever; your renown will endure through all generations.

13

You will arise and take pity on Tziyon, for the time has come to have mercy on her; the time determined has come.

14

For your servants love her very stones; they take pity even on her dust.

15

The nations will fear the name of ADONAI and all the kings on earth your glory,

16

when ADONAI has rebuilt Tziyon, and shows himself in his glory,

17

when he has heeded the plea of the poor and not despised their prayer.

18

May this be put on record for a future generation; may a people yet to be created praise ADONAI.

19

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven ADONAI surveys the earth

20

to listen to the sighing of the prisoner, to set free those who are sentenced to death,

21

to proclaim the name of ADONAI in Tziyon and his praise in Yerushalayim

22

when peoples and kingdoms have been gathered together to serve ADONAI.
