19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
20 to hear the groaning of the prisoner;to loose those that are appointed to death;
21 to declare the name of the Lord in Zion,and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 when the people are gathered together,and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
23 He weakened my strength in the way;he shortened my days.
24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:thy years are throughout all generations.
25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth:and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
