18. This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.
19. For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven the Lord gazed upon the earth,
20. To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free those who were doomed to death,
21. That men may tell of the name of the Lord in Zion And His praise in Jerusalem,
22. When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
