19. Let these things be written in another generation, and the people who will be created will praise the Lord.
20. For he has gazed from his high sanctuary. From heaven, the Lord has beheld the earth.
21. So may he hear the groans of those in shackles, in order that he may release the sons of the slain.
22. So may they announce the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem:
23. while the people convene, along with kings, in order that they may serve the Lord.
24. He responded to him in the way of his virtue: Declare to me the brevity of my days.
25. Do not call me back in the middle of my days: your years are from generation to generation.
26. In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
27. They will perish, but you remain. And all will grow old like a garment. And, like a blanket, you will change them, and they will be changed.
28. Yet you are ever yourself, and your years will not decline.
29. The sons of your servants will live, and their offspring will be guided aright in every age.
