“Yahweh!
You are enthroned forever.
Your name endures to all generations.
You wilt rise up.
You will have compassion on Zion.
It is time to favor it.
The appointed time has come.
Your servants hold its stones dear.
Have pity on its dust.
The nations will fear the name of Yahweh.
All the kings of the earth fear your glory.
Yahweh will build up Zion.
He will appear in his glory.
He will regard the prayer of the destitute.
He will not despise their prayer.”
There is this beautiful hymn to Yahweh, who is enthroned as king forever. His name will endure through all generations. He will rise up and have compassion on Zion, his holy city and temple. The appointed time has come. His servants hold its stones holy. Yahweh should have pity on its dust. All the countries and kings would fear the name and glory of Yahweh. Yahweh would rebuild Zion and appear in all his glory. He has regard for the prayer of the destitute and will not despise their prayers.
