nkjv Psalms:102 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hear my prayer ,
O LORD ,
And let my cry come to You .
*
Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble ;
Incline Your ear to me ;
In the day that I call ,
answer me speedily .
*
For my days are consumed like smoke ,
And my bones are burned like a hearth .
*
My heart is stricken and withered like grass ,
So that I forget to eat my bread .
*
Because of the sound of my groaning My bones cling to my skin .
*
I am like a pelican of the wilderness ;
I am like an owl of the desert .
*
I lie awake ,
And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop .
*
My enemies reproach me all day long ;
Those who deride me swear an oath against me .
*
For I have eaten ashes like bread ,
And mingled my drink with weeping ,
*
Because of Your indignation and Your wrath ;
For You have lifted me up and cast me away .
*
My days are like a shadow that lengthens ,
And I wither away like grass .
*
But You ,
O LORD ,
shall endure forever ,
And the remembrance of Your name to all generations .
*
You will arise and have mercy on Zion ;
For the time to favor her ,
Yes ,
the set time ,
has come .
*
For Your servants take pleasure in her stones ,
And show favor to her dust .
*
So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD ,
And all the kings of the earth Your glory .
*
For the LORD shall build up Zion ;
He shall appear in His glory .
*
He shall regard the prayer of the destitute ,
And shall not despise their prayer .
*
This will be written for the generation to come ,
That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD .
*
For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary ;
From heaven the LORD viewed the earth ,
*
To hear the groaning of the prisoner ,
To release those appointed to death ,
*
To declare the name of the LORD in Zion ,
And His praise in Jerusalem ,
*
When the peoples 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 ,
Do not take me away in the midst of my days ;
Your years are throughout all generations .
*
Of old You laid the foundation of the earth ,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands .
*
They will perish ,
but You will endure ;
Yes ,
they will all grow old like a garment ;
Like a cloak You will change them ,
And they will be changed .
*
But You are the same ,
And Your years will have no end .
*
The children of Your servants will continue ,
And their descendants will be established before You ."
