Psalm 102:16-18
New English Translation

16 when the Lord rebuilds Zion,
and reveals his splendor,
17 when he responds to the prayer of the destitute,[a]
and does not reject[b] their request.[c]
18 The account of his intervention[d] will be recorded for future generations;
people yet to be born[e] will praise the Lord.
