Psalms 102:1-28

112HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LordH3068! And let my cryH7775 for helpH7775 3comeH935 to You.24Do not hideH5641 Your faceH6440 from me in the dayH3117 of my distressH6862; 5InclineH5186 Your earH241 to me; In the dayH3117 when I callH7121 6answerH6030 me quicklyH4118.3For my daysH3117 7have beenH3615 8consumedH3615 in smokeH6227, And my 9bonesH6106 have been scorchedH2787 like a hearthH4168.4My heartH3820 10has been smittenH5221 like 11grassH6212 and has 12witheredH3001 away, IndeedH3588, I 13forgetH7911 to eatH398 my breadH3899.5BecauseH4480 of the 14loudnessH6963 of my groaningH585 My 15bonesH6106 16clingH1692 to my fleshH1320.6I 17resembleH1819 a 18pelicanH6893 of the wildernessH4057; I have becomeH1961 like an owlH3563 of the wasteH2723 placesH2723.7I 19lieH8245 awakeH8245, I have becomeH1961 like a lonelyH909 birdH6833 on a housetopH1406.

8My enemiesH340 20have reproachedH2778 me allH3605 dayH3117 long; Those who 2122derideH1984 me 23have usedH7650 my name as a 24curseH7650.9For I have eatenH398 ashesH665 like breadH3899 And 25mingledH4537 my drinkH8250 with weepingH10651026BecauseH4480H6440 of Your indignationH2195 and Your wrathH7110, For You have 27liftedH5375 me up and castH7993 me awayH7993.11My daysH3117 are like a 2829lengthenedH5186 shadowH6738, And 30I 31witherH3001 away like 32grassH6212.

12But You, O LordH3068, 3334abideH3427 foreverH5769, And Your 3536nameH2143 to allH1755 generationsH1755.13You will 37ariseH6965 and haveH7355 38compassionH7355 on ZionH6726; For 39it is timeH6256 to be graciousH2603 to her, For the 40appointedH4150 timeH4150 has comeH935.14SurelyH3588 Your servantsH5650 41findH7521 pleasureH7521 in her stonesH68 And feelH2603 pityH2603 for her dustH6083.1542So the 4344nationsH1471 will fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 And 45allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 Your gloryH3519.16For the LordH3068 has 46builtH1129 up ZionH6726; He has 47appearedH7200 in His gloryH3519.17He has 48regardedH6437 the prayerH8605 of the 49destituteH6199 And has not despisedH959 their prayerH8605.

1850ThisH2088 will be 51writtenH3789 for the 52generationH1755 to comeH314, 53That 54a peopleH5971 yet to be createdH1254 55may praiseH1984 56the LordH3050.19For He 57lookedH8259 downH8259 from His holyH6944 heightH4791; 58From heavenH8064 the LordH3068 gazedH5027 59upon the earthH776,20To hearH8085 the 60groaningH603 of the prisonerH615, To 61setH6605 freeH6605 62thoseH1121 whoH1121 were doomedH1121 to deathH8546,21That men may 63tellH5608 of the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 in ZionH6726 And His praiseH8416 in JerusalemH3389,22When 64the peoplesH5971 are gatheredH6908 togetherH3164, And the kingdomsH4467, to serveH5647 the LordH3068.

23He has weakenedH6031 my strengthH3581 in the wayH1870; He has 65shortenedH7114 my daysH3117.24I sayH559, “O my GodH410, 66do not takeH5927 me awayH5927 in the 67midstH2677 of my daysH3117, Your 68yearsH8141 are throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.25Of oldH6440 You 69foundedH3245 the earthH776, And the 70heavensH8064 are the workH4639 of Your handsH3027.2671Even they will 72perishH6, 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 7374the sameH1931, And Your yearsH8141 will not comeH8552 to an endH8552.28The 75childrenH1121 of Your servantsH5650 will continueH7931, And their 7677descendantsH2233 will be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 You.”
