New American Standard Bible
Chapter 102
16For the Lord has built up Zion; He has appeared in His glory. 17He has turned His attention to the prayer of the destitute And has not despised their prayer. 18 This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord: 19For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven the Lord looked upon the earth, 20To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free those who were doomed to death, 21So that people may tell of the name of the Lord in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem,King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
17He will pay attention to the prayer of the destitute and will not despise their prayer.
18This will be written for a later generation, and a people who have not yet been created will praise the Lord:
19He looked down from his holy heights— the Lord gazed out from heaven to earth —
20to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to set free those condemned to die,
21so that they might declare the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem,
New Living Translation
Chapter 102
16For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem. He will appear in his glory. 17He will listen to the prayers of the destitute. He will not reject their pleas.
18Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a people not yet born will praise the Lord.
19Tell them the Lord looked down from his heavenly sanctuary. He looked down to earth from heaven
20to hear the groans of the prisoners, to release those condemned to die.
21And so the Lord’s fame will be celebrated in Zion, his praises in Jerusalem,

16For the Lord builds up Zion; he appears in his glory; 17he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer. 18Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord: 19that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the Lord looked at the earth, 20to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, 21that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord, and in Jerusalem his praise,New International Version
17He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea.
18Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord:
19"The Lord looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth,
20to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death."
21So the name of the Lord will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem
