He will turn toward the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer.

Context

17He has regarded the prayer of the destitute
And has not despised their prayer.

18This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.

19For He looked down from His holy height;
From heaven the LORD gazed upon the earth,

20To hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To set free those who were doomed to death,

21That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion
And His praise in Jerusalem,

22When the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

23He has weakened my strength in the way;
He has shortened my days.

24I say, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days,
Your years are throughout all generations.

25“Of old You founded the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

26“Even they will perish, but You endure;
And all of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.

27“But You are the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.

28“The children of Your servants will continue,
And their descendants will be established before You.”
