Psalm 102:17

Affliction In Light Of Eternity

¹⁶ for the Lord will rebuild Zion;
He will appear in His glory.
¹⁷ He will pay attention to the prayer of the destitute
and will not despise their prayer. ¹⁸ This will be written for a later generation,
and a newly created people will praise the Lord:

Regard the Prayer

Looked Up

Pay Attention
