19. The Lord looked down from his holy place above;from heaven he looked down at the earth.
20. He heard the moans of the prisoners,and he freed those sentenced to die.
21. The name of the Lord will be heard in Jerusalem;his praise will be heard there.
22. People will come together,and kingdoms will serve the Lord.
23. God has made me tired of living;he has cut short my life.
24. So I said, “My God, do not take me in the middle of my life.Your years go on and on.
