Psalms
Chapter 102
1 (A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth
out his complaint before the LORD.) Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my
cry come unto thee.
2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble;
incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as
an hearth.
4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to
eat my bread.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the
desert.
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad
against me are sworn against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with
weeping,
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted
me up, and cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like
grass.
12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance
unto all generations.
13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to
favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the
dust thereof.
15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the
kings of the earth thy glory.
16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise
their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people
which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from
heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are
appointed to death;
21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in
Jerusalem;
22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to
serve the LORD.
23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy
years are throughout all generations.
25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the
heavens are the work of thy hands.
26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall
wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they
shall be changed:
27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed
shall be established before thee.
