16That will happen when the Lord builds Zion again and he appears there in his glory. 17He will answer the prayers of poor people who have nothing. He will not refuse to help them.

He saw what was happening on the earth. 20He heard the prisoners call out in pain. He saved the lives of prisoners so they could go free before their enemies could kill them.
