Psalms 102:18-22

Psalms 102

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

18Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.

19For He looked down from the heights of His sanctuary; the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth

20to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,

21that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,

22when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD.
