Psalms 102

Prayer of an Afflicted Man for Mercy on Himself and on Zion.

A Prayer of the Afflicted when he is faint and Ps 142:2pours out his complaint before the Lord.

11HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LordH3068! And let my cryH7775 for helpH7775 2comeH935 to You.23Do not hideH5641 Your faceH6440 from me in the dayH3117 of my distressH6862; 4InclineH5186 Your earH241 to me; In the dayH3117 when I callH7121 5answerH6030 me quicklyH4118.3For my daysH3117 6have beenH3615 7consumedH3615 in smokeH6227, And my 8bonesH6106 have been scorchedH2787 like a hearthH4168.4My heartH3820 9has been smittenH5221 like 10grassH6212 and has 11witheredH3001 away, IndeedH3588, I 12forgetH7911 to eatH398 my breadH3899.5BecauseH4480 of the 13loudnessH6963 of my groaningH585 My 14bonesH6106 15clingH1692 to my fleshH1320.6I 16resembleH1819 a 17pelicanH6893 of the wildernessH4057; I have becomeH1961 like an owlH3563 of the wasteH2723 placesH2723.7I 18lieH8245 awakeH8245, I have becomeH1961 like a lonelyH909 birdH6833 on a housetopH1406.

8My enemiesH340 19have reproachedH2778 me allH3605 dayH3117 long; Those who 2021derideH1984 me 22have usedH7650 my name as a 23curseH7650.9For I have eatenH398 ashesH665 like breadH3899 And 24mingledH4537 my drinkH8250 with weepingH10651025BecauseH4480H6440 of Your indignationH2195 and Your wrathH7110, For You have 26liftedH5375 me up and castH7993 me awayH7993.11My daysH3117 are like a 2728lengthenedH5186 shadowH6738, And 29I 30witherH3001 away like 31grassH6212.

12But You, O LordH3068, 3233abideH3427 foreverH5769, And Your 3435nameH2143 to allH1755 generationsH1755.13You will 36ariseH6965 and haveH7355 37compassionH7355 on ZionH6726; For 38it is timeH6256 to be graciousH2603 to her, For the 39appointedH4150 timeH4150 has comeH935.14SurelyH3588 Your servantsH5650 40findH7521 pleasureH7521 in her stonesH68 And feelH2603 pityH2603 for her dustH6083.1541So the 4243nationsH1471 will fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 And 44allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 Your gloryH3519.16For the LordH3068 has 45builtH1129 up ZionH6726; He has 46appearedH7200 in His gloryH3519.17He has 47regardedH6437 the prayerH8605 of the 48destituteH6199 And has not despisedH959 their prayerH8605.

1849ThisH2088 will be 50writtenH3789 for the 51generationH1755 to comeH314, 52That 53a peopleH5971 yet to be createdH1254 54may praiseH1984 55the LordH3050.19For He 56lookedH8259 downH8259 from His holyH6944 heightH4791; 57From heavenH8064 the LordH3068 gazedH5027 58upon the earthH776,20To hearH8085 the 59groaningH603 of the prisonerH615, To 60setH6605 freeH6605 61thoseH1121 whoH1121 were doomedH1121 to deathH8546,21That men may 62tellH5608 of the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 in ZionH6726 And His praiseH8416 in JerusalemH3389,22When 63the peoplesH5971 are gatheredH6908 togetherH3164, And the kingdomsH4467, to serveH5647 the LordH3068.

23He has weakenedH6031 my strengthH3581 in the wayH1870; He has 64shortenedH7114 my daysH3117.24I sayH559, “O my GodH410, 65do not takeH5927 me awayH5927 in the 66midstH2677 of my daysH3117, Your 67yearsH8141 are throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.25Of oldH6440 You 68foundedH3245 the earthH776, And the 69heavensH8064 are the workH4639 of Your handsH3027.2670Even they will 71perishH6, but You endureH5975; And allH3605 of them will wearH1086 out like a garmentH899; Like clothingH3830 You will changeH2498 them and they will be changedH2498.27But You are 7273the sameH1931, And Your yearsH8141 will not comeH8552 to an endH8552.28The 74childrenH1121 of Your servantsH5650 will continueH7931, And their 7576descendantsH2233 will be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 You.”
