 13. But thou,  O Lord,  endurest  for  ever: and  thy memorial to  all  generations.

14. Thou  shalt  arise  and  have  mercy  upon  Sion: for it  is  time  that  thou  have  mercy  upon  her; yea, the time  is  come.

15 For  thy  servants  have  delighted  in  her  stones: and they  shall  have  compassion  on  the  earth  thereof.

16 The  Gentiles  shall  fear  thy  name,  O Lord,  and all the  kings  of  the  earth  thy  glory.

17 For  the  Lord  hath  built  up  Sion: and  he  shall be seen  in  his  glory.

18 He  hath  had  regard  unto  the  prayer  of  the lowly: and hath  not  despised  their  petition.

19 Let  these  things  be  written  for  another  generation: and  the  people  that  shall  be  created  shall praise the  Lord.

20 For  he  hath  looked  down  from  his  high  and holy place: out  of  heaven  hath  the  Lord  looked upon the  earth.

21 That  he  might  hear  the  groaning  of  them  that are in  fetters: that  he  might  deliver  the  children  of the  slain.

22 That  they  may  declare  the  name  of  the  Lord  in Sion: and  his  praise  in  Jerusalem.

23 When  the  people  assemble  together,  and  kings that they  may  serve  the  Lord.

24 He  answered  him  in  the  way  of  his  strength: declare unto  me  the  fewness  of  my  days.

25 Call  me  not  away  in  the  midst  of  my  days: thy years are  unto  generation  and  generation.

26 Thou,  Lord,  in  the  beginning,  didst  lay  the foundations of  the  earth: and  the  heavens  are  the work of  thy  hands.

27 They  shall  perish,  but  thou  endurest: and  they all shall  grow  old  as  a garment.
