Psalms: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 .
*
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 .
*
For my days are consumed like smoke ,
and my bones are burned as an hearth .
*
My heart is smitten ,
and withered like grass ;
so that I forget to eat my bread .
*
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin .
*
I am like a pelican of the wilderness :
I am like an owl of the desert .
*
I watch ,
and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top .
*
Mine enemies reproach me all the day ;
and they that are mad against me are sworn against me .
*
For I have eaten ashes like bread ,
and mingled my drink with weeping ,
*
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath :
for thou hast lifted me up ,
and cast me down .
*
My days are like a shadow that declineth ;
and I am withered like grass .
*
But thou ,
O LORD ,
shalt endure for ever ;
and thy remembrance unto all generations .
*
Thou shalt arise ,
and have mercy upon Zion :
for the time to favour her ,
yea ,
the set time mow #
ed #,
is come .
*
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones ,
and favour the dust thereof .
*
So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD ,
and all the kings of the earth thy glory .
*
When the LORD shall build up Zion ,
he shall appear in his glory .
*
He will regard the prayer of the destitute #
ar #
ar #,
and not despise their prayer .
*
This shall be written for the generation to come :
and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD .
*
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary ;
from heaven did the LORD behold the earth ;
*
To hear the groaning of the prisoner ;
to loose those that are appointed to death ;
*
To declare the name of the LORD in Zion ,
and his praise in Jerusalem ;
*
When the people are gathered together ,
and the kingdoms ,
to serve the LORD .
*
He weakened my strength in the way ;
he shortened my days .
*
I said ,
O my God ,
take me not away in the midst of my days :
thy years are throughout all generations .
*
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth :
and the heavens are the work of thy hands .
*
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 :
*
But thou art the same ,
and thy years shall have no end .
*
The children of thy servants shall continue ,
and their seed shall be established before thee .
