Psalms 102

1A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah. Hear^H8085 my prayer^H8605, O Jehovah^H3068, And let my cry^H7775 come^H935 unto thee. 2Hide^H5641 not thy face^H6440 from me in the day^H3117 of my distress^H6862: Incline^H5186 thine ear^H241 unto me; In the day^H3117 when I call^H7121 answer^H6030 me speedily^H4118. 3For my days^H3117 consume^H3615 away like smoke^H6227, And my bones^H6106 are burned^H2787 as a firebrand^H4168. 4My heart^H3820 is smitten^H5221 like grass^H6212, and withered^H3001; For I forget^H7911 to eat^H398 my bread^H3899. 5By reason of the voice^H6963 of my groaning^H585 My bones^H6106 cleave^H1692 to my flesh^H1320. 6I am like^H1819 a pelican^H6893 of the wilderness^H4057; I am become as an owl^H3563 of the waste^H2723 places. 7I watch^H8245, and am become like a sparrow^H6833 That is alone^H909 upon the house-top^H1406. 8Mine enemies^H341 reproach^H2778 me all the day^H3117; They that are mad^H1984 against me do curse^H7650 by me. 9For I have eaten^H398 ashes^H665 like bread^H3899, And mingled^H4537 my drink^H8249 with weeping^H1065, 10Because^H6440 of thine indignation^H2195 and thy wrath^H7110: For thou hast taken me up^H5375, and cast me away^H7993. 11My days^H3117 are like a shadow^H6738 that declineth^H5186; And I am withered^H3001 like grass^H6212. 12But thou, O Jehovah^H3068, wilt abide^H3427 for ever^H5769; And thy memorial^H2143 name unto all^H1755 generations^H1755. 13Thou wilt arise^H6965, and have mercy^H7355 upon Zion^H6726; For it is time^H6256 to have pity^H2603 upon her, Yea, the set time^H4150 is come^H935. 14For thy servants^H5650 take pleasure^H7521 in her stones^H68, And have pity^H2603 upon her dust^H6083. 15So the nations^H1471 shall fear^H3372 the name^H8034 of Jehovah^H3068, And all the kings^H4428 of the earth^H776 thy glory^H3519. 16For Jehovah^H3068 hath built up^H1129 Zion^H6726; He hath appeared^H7200 in his glory^H3519. 17He hath regarded^H6437 the prayer^H8605 of the destitute^H6199, And hath not despised^H959 their prayer^H8605. 18This shall be written^H3789 for the generation^H1755 to come^H314; And a people^H5971 which shall be created^H1254 shall praise^H1984 Jehovah^H3050. 19For he hath looked down^H8259 from the height^H4791 of his sanctuary^H6944; From heaven^H8064 did Jehovah^H3068 behold^H5027 the earth^H776; 20To hear^H8085 the sighing^H603 of the prisoner^H615; To loose^H6605 those that are appointed^H1121 to death^H8546; 21That men may declare^H5608 the name^H8034 of Jehovah^H3068 in Zion^H6726, And his praise^H8416 in Jerusalem^H3389; 22When the peoples^H5971 are gathered^H6908 together^H3162, And the kingdoms^H4467, to serve^H5647 Jehovah^H3068. 23He weakened^H6031 my strength^H3581 in the way^H1870; He shortened^H7114 my days^H3117. 24I said^H559, O my God^H410, take me not away^H5927 in the midst^H2677 of my days^H3117: Thy years^H8141 are throughout all^H1755 generations^H1755. 25Of old^H6440 didst thou lay the foundation^H3245 of the earth^H776; And the heavens^H8064 are the work^H4639 of thy hands^H3027. 26They shall perish^H6, but thou shalt endure^H5975; Yea, all of them shall wax old^H1086 like a garment^H899; As a vesture^H3830 shalt thou change^H2498 them, and they shall be changed^H2498: 27But thou art the same, And thy years^H8141 shall have no end^H8552. 28The children^H1121 of thy servants^H5650 shall continue^H7931, And their seed^H2233 shall be established^H3559 before^H6440 thee.
