18This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.
19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;
20To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;
21That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;
22When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
23He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.
