PENITENTIAL PSALMS.
171
For the stones thereof have pleased Thy servants, and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
And the Gentiles shall fear Thy name, O Lord: and all the kings of the earth, Thy glory.
For the Lord hath built up Sion: and He shall be seen in His glory.
He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and He hath not despised their petition.
Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord.
Because He hath looked forth from His high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
That He might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that He might release those doomed to death.
That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion, and His praise in Jerusalem.
