12 But, Lord, you rule forever,and your fame goes on and on.
13 You will come and have mercy on Jerusalem,because the time has now come to be kind to her;the right time has come.
14 Your servants love even her stones;they even care about her dust.
15 Nations will fear the name of the Lord,and all the kings on earth will honor you.
16 The Lord will rebuild Jerusalem;there his glory will be seen.
17 He will answer the prayers of the needy;he will not reject their prayers.
18 Write these things for the futureso that people who are not yet born will praise the Lord.
