15 Now let the nations and their rulers tremble before the Lord, before his glory. 16 For Jehovah will rebuild Jerusalem! He will appear in his glory!

17 He will listen to the prayers of the destitute, for he is never too busy to heed their requests. 18 I am recording this so that future generations will also praise the Lord for all that he has done. And a people that shall be created shall praise the Lord. 19 Tell them that God looked down from his temple in heaven 20 and heard the groans of his people in slavery—they were children of death—and released them, 21-22 so that multitudes would stream to the Temple in Jerusalem to praise him, and his praises were sung throughout the city; and many rulers throughout the earth came to worship him.

15 The nations will fear(A) the name of the Lord,
    all the kings(B) of the earth will revere your glory.
16 For the Lord will rebuild Zion(C)
    and appear in his glory.(D)
17 He will respond to the prayer(E) of the destitute;
    he will not despise their plea.

18 Let this be written(F) for a future generation,
    that a people not yet created(G) may praise the Lord:
19 “The Lord looked down(H) from his sanctuary on high,
    from heaven he viewed the earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners(I)
    and release those condemned to death.”
21 So the name of the Lord will be declared(J) in Zion
    and his praise(K) in Jerusalem
22 when the peoples and the kingdoms
    assemble to worship(L) the Lord.
