chapter_Psalm_102
Psalm 102:1: A Prayer of the afflicted when he is feeble, and before Jehovah poureth out his plaint. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, yea, my cry to Thee cometh. Psalm 102:2: Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me. Psalm 102:3: For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned. Psalm 102:4: Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread. Psalm 102:5: From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh. Psalm 102:6: I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places. Psalm 102:7: I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof. Psalm 102:8: All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me. Psalm 102:9: Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled, Psalm 102:10: From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down. Psalm 102:11: My days as a shadow are stretched out, And I &#8212; as the herb I am withered. Psalm 102:12: And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations. Psalm 102:13: Thou &#8212; Thou risest &#8212; Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come. Psalm 102:14: For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour. Psalm 102:15: And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of the earth Thine honour, Psalm 102:16: For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour, Psalm 102:17: He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer. Psalm 102:18: This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah. Psalm 102:19: For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively, Psalm 102:20: To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death, Psalm 102:21: To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem, Psalm 102:22: In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms &#8212; to serve Jehovah. Psalm 102:23: He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days. Psalm 102:24: I say, 'My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations are Thine years. Psalm 102:25: Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands are the heavens. Psalm 102:26: They &#8212; They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed. Psalm 102:27: And Thou art the same, and Thine years are not finished. Psalm 102:28: The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!
