Psalms 102:12-28

12But thou, O Yhwh, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

15So the heathen shall fear the name of Yhwh, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

16When Yhwh shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise Yah.

19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did Yhwh behold the earth;

20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;1

21To declare the name of Yhwh in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Yhwh.

23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.2

24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

26They 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:3

27But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

28The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
