Psalms 102
- 1Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you.
- 2Do not hide your face from me in the day when I am in trouble. Listen closely to me: in the day when I call answer me quickly.
- 3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth.
- 4My heart is struck, and withered like grass. So that I forget to eat my bread.
- 5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cling to my skin.
- 6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
- 7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone on the house top.
- 8My enemies insult me all the day, and those who are mad against me are sworn against me.
- 9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with weeping.
- 10Because of your anger and your wrath. For you have lifted me up, and cast me down.
- 11My days are like a shadow that declines. I am withered like grass.
- 12But you, O Lord, shall endure for ever, and your remembrance to all generations.
- 13You shall arise, and have mercy on Zion. For the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.
- 14For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor its dust.
- 15So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.
- 16When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
- 17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
- 18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
- 19For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven the Lord looked at the earth.
- 20To hear the groaning of the prisoner. To loose those that are appointed to death.
- 21To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem.
- 22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
- 23He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.
- 24I said, O my God, do not take me away in the middle of my days: your years are throughout all generations.
- 25Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of your hands.
- 26They shall perish, but you shall endure: yes, all of them shall grow old like a garment. Like a garment you shall change them, and they shall be changed:
- 27But you are the same, and your years shall have no end.
- 28The children of your servants shall continue, and their descendants shall be established before you.
