Psalms 102 (kjv)

A Prayer^H8605 of the afflicted^H6041, when he is overwhelmed^H5848, and poureth out^H8210 his complaint^H7879 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068. Hear^H8085 my prayer^H8605, O LORD^H3068, and let my cry^H7775 come^H935 unto thee.²Hide^H5641 not thy face^H6440 from me in the day^H3117 when I am in trouble^H6862; incline^H5186 thine ear^H241 unto me: in the day^H3117 when I call^H7121 answer^H6030 me speedily^H4118.³For my days^H3117 are consumed^H3615 like smoke^H6227, and my bones^H6106 are burned^H2787 as an hearth^H4168.⁴My heart^H3820 is smitten^H5221, and withered^H3001 like grass^H6212; so that I forget^H7911 to eat^H398 my bread^H3899.⁵By reason of the voice^H6963 of my groaning^H585 my bones^H6106 cleave^H1692 to my skin^H1320.⁶I am like^H1819 a pelican^H6893 of the wilderness^H4057: I am like an owl^H3563 of the desert^H2723.⁷I watch^H8245, and am as a sparrow^H6833 alone^H909 upon the house top^H1406.⁸Mine enemies^H341 reproach^H2778 me all the day^H3117; and they that are mad^H1984 against me are sworn^H7650 against me.⁹For I have eaten^H398 ashes^H665 like bread^H3899, and mingled^H4537 my drink^H8249 with weeping^H1065,¹⁰Because^H6440 of thine indignation^H2195 and thy wrath^H7110: for thou hast lifted me up^H5375, and cast me down^H7993.¹¹My days^H3117 are like a shadow^H6738 that declineth^H5186; and I am withered^H3001 like grass^H6212.

¹²But thou, O LORD^H3068, shalt endure^H3427 for ever^H5769; and thy remembrance^H2143 unto all^H1755 generations^H1755.¹³Thou shalt arise^H6965, and have mercy^H7355 upon Zion^H6726: for the time^H6256 to favour^H2603 her, yea, the set time^H4150, is come^H935.¹⁴For thy servants^H5650 take pleasure^H7521 in her stones^H68, and favour^H2603 the dust^H6083 thereof.¹⁵So the heathen^H1471 shall fear^H3372 the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, and all the kings^H4428 of the earth^H776 thy glory^H3519.¹⁶When the LORD^H3068 shall build up^H1129 Zion^H6726, he shall appear^H7200 in his glory^H3519.¹⁷He will regard^H6437 the prayer^H8605 of the destitute^H6199, and not despise^H959 their prayer^H8605.

¹⁸This shall be written^H3789 for the generation^H1755 to come^H314: and the people^H5971 which shall be created^H1254 shall praise^H1984 the LORD^H3050.¹⁹For he hath looked down^H8259 from the height^H4791 of his sanctuary^H6944; from heaven^H8064 did the LORD^H3068 behold^H5027 the earth^H776;²⁰To hear^H8085 the groaning^H603 of the prisoner^H615; to loose^H6605 those that are appointed^H1121 to death^H8546;²¹To declare^H5608 the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068 in Zion^H6726, and his praise^H8416 in Jerusalem^H3389;²²When the people^H5971 are gathered^H6908 together^H3162, and the kingdoms^H4467, to serve^H5647 the LORD^H3068.

²³He weakened^H6031 my strength^H3581 in the way^H1870; he shortened^H7114 my days^H3117.²⁴I said^H559, O my God^H410, take me not away^H5927 in the midst^H2677 of my days^H3117: thy years^H8141 are throughout all^H1755 generations^H1755.²⁵Of old^H6440 hast thou laid the foundation^H3245 of the earth^H776: and the heavens^H8064 are the work^H4639 of thy hands^H3027.²⁶They shall perish^H6, but thou shalt endure^H5975: yea, all of them shall wax old^H1086 like a garment^H899; as a vesture^H3830 shalt thou change^H2498 them, and they shall be changed^H2498:²⁷But thou art the same, and thy years^H8141 shall have no end^H8552.²⁸The children^H1121 of thy servants^H5650 shall continue^H7931, and their seed^H2233 shall be established^H3559 before^H6440 thee.
