11 My life fades like a shadowat the end of dayand withers like grass.
12 Our Lord, you are King for everand will always be famous.
13 You will show pity to Zionbecause the time has come.
14 We, your servants,love each stone in the city,and we are sad to see themlying in the dust.
15 Our Lord, the nationswill honour you,and all kings on earthwill praise your glory.
16 You will rebuildthe city of Zion.Your glory will be seen,
17 and the prayers of the homelesswill be answered.
