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. So 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.
