\q alone on the housetop.
|
|

|
\q and mix my drink with tears.

|
|
\q you have lifted me up to throw me down.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|

|

|
|
\q and a people not yet born will praise Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 For he has looked down from the holy heights;
|
|
\q from heaven Yahweh has viewed the earth,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 to hear the groaning of the prisoners,
|
|
\q to release those who were condemned to death.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 Then men will proclaim the name of Yahweh in Zion
|
|
\q and his praise in Jerusalem
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 when the peoples and kingdoms gather together
|
|
\q to serve Yahweh.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 He has taken away my strength in the middle of life.
|
|
\q He has shortened my days.
|
|

|
|
\q you are here throughout all generations.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 25 In ancient times you set the earth in place;
|
|
\q the heavens are the work of your hands.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 26 They will perish, but you will remain;
|
|
\q they will all grow old like a garment;
|
|
\q like clothing, you will remove them, and they will disappear.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 27 But you are the same,
|
|
\q and your years will have no end.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 28 The children of your servants will live on,
|
|
\q and their descendants will live in your presence."
