* O Yahweh , hear thou my prayer , and let , my cry for help , unto thee , enter in . * Do not hide thy face from me , In the day when I am in distress , Bend down unto me thine ear , In the day when I call , speedily answer me . * For , consumed in smoke , are my days , And , my bones , like a burning mass , are scorched through ; * Smitten like herbage , so is my heart dried up , For I have forgotten to eat my food . * At the noise of my groaning , my bone , hath cleaved , to my flesh : * I am like the pelican of the desert , I have become as an owl among ruins . * I have watched and am become , Like a bird sitting alone upon a housetop . * All the day , have mine enemies , reproached me , And , they who are mad against me , by me , have sworn . * For , asheslike bread , have I eaten , And , my drinkwith my tears , have I mingled ; * Because of thine indignation and thy wrath , For thou hast lifted me up , and cast me down . * My days , are like a shadow extended , And , I , as green herbage , do wither . * But , thou , O Yahweh , age-abidingly wilt remain , And the memorial of thee , to generation after generation . * Thou , wilt arise , wilt have compassion upon Zion , Surely it is time to favour her , Surely the time appointed , hath come ; * Seeing that thy servants , take pleasure , in her stones , And , her dust , they favour : * That the nations may revere thy Name , O Yahweh , And all the kings of the earth , thy glory . * When Yahweh , hath built up , Zion , Hath appeared in his glory ; * Hath turned towards the prayer of the destitute , And not despised their prayer , * This , shall be written , for a later generation , And , a people to be created , will give praise unto Yah : * That he looked down , out of his holy height , Yahweh , from the heavens unto the earth , directed his gaze ; * To hear the groaning of the prisoner , To set free , them who were appointed to death . * To the end the Name of Yahweh , might be celebrated in Zion , And his praise in Jerusalem : * When the peoples , gather themselves together , And the kingdoms , to serve Yahweh . * He hath prostrated , in the way , my strength , He hath shortened my days . * I said , O my GOD , do not remove me in the midst of my days , Throughout the generation of generations , are thy years ; * Of oldthe earth , thou didst found , And , the work of thy hands , are the heavens ; * They , shall perish , But , thou , wilt abide ; And , they all , like a garment , shall fall in pieces , As a vesture , wilt thou change them and they shall vanish ; * But , thou , art , the same , And , thy years , shall have no end : * The children of thy servants , shall continue , And , their seed , before thee , be established .
