12 But you, O LORD, are set

For ever on your throne; 

Through each succeeding age

Endures your great renown. 

13 You will arise in mighty power; 

On Zion mercy you will shower. 

​

The set time now has come

To bless Jerusalem. 

14 Her stones your saints hold dear; 

Her dust is mourned by them. 

15 Nations will fear your name, O LORD; 

All kings on earth your praise record.

​

16 For God will yet appear

In glorious might to reign; 

The LORD in grace will build

Jerusalem again. 

17 The prayers of the poor he'll heed; 

He will not spurn their cry of need. 

18 Let this be written down 

to teach a future race, 

So people yet unborn 

May magnify his grace:

19 That from his holy place above

The LORD looked down in tender love.

​

From heav'n he viewed the earth 

Observing all mankind, 

20 To hear the groans of those 

In prison cells confined, 

And to deliver from on high 

A multitude condemned to die.  

​

21 In Zion will be praised

The LORD's exalted name; 

His praises will be sung

Within Jerusalem, 

22 When peoples and their kingdoms throng

To serve the LORD with cheerful song.
