¹⁶ For the Lord will rebuild Zion^(A)
    and appear in his glory.^(B)
17 He will respond to the prayer^(C) of the destitute;
    he will not despise their plea.

¹⁸ Let this be written^(D) for a future generation,
    that a people not yet created^(E) may praise the Lord:

¹⁹ “The Lord looked down^(A) from his sanctuary on high,
    from heaven he viewed the earth,
²⁰ to hear the groans of the prisoners^(B)
    and release those condemned to death.”
²¹ So the name of the Lord will be declared^(C) in Zion
    and his praise^(D) in Jerusalem

²² when the peoples and the kingdoms
    assemble to worship^(A) the Lord.

²³ In the course of my life^[a] he broke my strength;
    he cut short my days.^(B)
