Psalms 102:12-22

12But you, O Lord, rule forever, and your reputation endures.

13You will rise up and have compassion on Zion. For it is time to have mercy on her, for the appointed time has come.

14Indeed, your servants take delight in her stones, and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins.

15The nations will respect the reputation of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will respect his splendor,

16when the Lord rebuilds Zion, and reveals his splendor,

17when he responds to the prayer of the destitute, and does not reject their request.

18The account of his intervention will be recorded for future generations; people yet to be born will praise the Lord.

19For he will look down from his sanctuary above; from heaven the Lord will look toward earth,

20in order to hear the painful cries of the prisoners, and to set free those condemned to die,

21so they may proclaim the name of the Lord in Zion, and praise him in Jerusalem,

22when the nations gather together, and the kingdoms pay tribute to the Lord.
