Psalms 102

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

A Prayer of the afflicted when he is weak and pours out his complaint before the Lord.

112HearH8085 my prayerH8605, LordH3068! And let my cryH7775 forH7775 helpH7775 3comeH935 to You.24Do not hideH5641 Your faceH6440 from me on the dayH3117 of my distressH6862; 5InclineH5186 Your earH241 to me; On the dayH3117 when I callH7121 6answerH6030 me quicklyH4118.3For my daysH3117 7have endedH3615 in smokeH6227, And my 8bonesH6106 have beenH2787 scorchedH2787 like a hearthH4168.4My heartH3820 9has been struckH5221 like 10grassH6212 and has 11witheredH3001, IndeedH3588, I 12forgetH7911 to eatH398 my breadH3899.5BecauseH4480 of the 13loudnessH6963 of my groaningH585 My 14bonesH6106 15clingH1692 to my fleshH1320.6I resembleH1819 a 16pelicanH6893 of the wildernessH4057; I have becomeH1961 like an owlH3563 of the ruinsH2723.7I 17lieH8245 awakeH8245, I have becomeH1961 like a solitaryH909 birdH6833 on a housetopH1406.

8My enemiesH340 18have tauntedH2778 me allH3605 dayH3117 long; Those who 1920derideH1984 me 21have usedH7650 my name as a 22curseH7650.9For I have eatenH398 ashesH665 like breadH3899, And 23mixedH4537 my drinkH8250 with weepingH10651024BecauseH4480H6440 of Your indignationH2195 and Your wrathH7110; For You have 25liftedH5375 me upH5375 and thrownH7993 me awayH7993.11My daysH3117 are like a 2627lengthenedH5186 shadowH6738, And 28I 29witherH3001 away like 30grassH6212.

12But You, LordH3068, 3132remainH3427 foreverH5769, And Your 3334nameH2143 remains to allH1755 generationsH1755.13You will 35ariseH6965 and haveH7355 36compassionH7355 onH7355 ZionH6726; For 37it is timeH6256 to beH2603 graciousH2603 to her, For the 38appointedH4150 timeH4150 has comeH935.14SurelyH3588 Your servantsH5650 39takeH7521 pleasureH7521 in her stonesH68, And feelH2603 pityH2603 for her dustH6083.1540So the 4142nationsH1471 will fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, And 43allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776, Your gloryH3519.16For the LordH3068 has 44builtH1129 upH1129 ZionH6726; He has 45appearedH7200 in His gloryH3519.17He has 46turnedH6437 His attentionH6437 to the prayerH8605 of the 47destituteH6199 And has not despisedH959 their prayerH8605.

1848ThisH2088 will be 49writtenH3789 for the 50generationH1755 to comeH314, 51That 52a peopleH5971 yet to be createdH1254 53may praiseH1984 54the LordH3050:19For He 55lookedH8259 downH8259 from His holyH6944 heightH4791; 56From heavenH8064 the LordH3068 lookedH5027 57upon the earthH776,20To hearH8085 the 58groaningH603 of the prisonerH615, To 59setH6605 freeH6605 60thoseH1121 who were doomedH1121 to deathH8546,21So that people may 61tellH5608 of the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 in ZionH6726, And His praiseH8416 in JerusalemH3389,22When 62the peoplesH5971 are gatheredH6908 togetherH3164, And the kingdomsH4467, to serveH5647 the LordH3068.

23He has brokenH6031 my strengthH3581 in the wayH1870; He has 63shortenedH7114 my daysH3117.24I sayH559, “My GodH410, 64do not takeH5927 me awayH5927 in the middleH2677 of my daysH3117, Your 65yearsH8141 are 66throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.25In timeH6440 of oldH6440 You 67foundedH3245 the earthH776, And the 68heavensH8064 are the workH4639 of Your handsH3027.2669Even they will 70perishH6, but You endureH5975; AllH3605 of them will wearH1086 outH1086 like a garmentH899; Like clothingH3830 You will changeH2498 them and they will passH2498 awayH2498.27But You are 7172the sameH1931, And Your yearsH8141 will not comeH8552 toH8552 anH8552 endH8552.28The 73childrenH1121 of Your servantsH5650 will continueH7931, And their 7475descendantsH2233 will be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 You.”
