15. Then the nations will fear the name of Yahweh,and all the kings of the earth Your glory,
16. for the Lord will rebuild Zion;He will appear in His glory.
17. He will pay attention to the prayer of the destituteand will not despise their prayer.
18. This will be written for a later generation,and a newly created people will praise the Lord:
19. He looked down from His holy heights —the Lord gazed out from heaven to earth —
20. to hear a prisoner’s groaning,to set free those condemned to die,
21. so that they might declarethe name of Yahweh in Zionand His praise in Jerusalem,
22. when peoples and kingdoms are assembledto serve the Lord.
23. He has broken my strength in midcourse;He has shortened my days.
