A Prayer
of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before
Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Psalm 102:1 |
|
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come
unto thee. |
|
|
|

|
Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress:
Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:3 |
|
For my days consume away like smoke, And my
bones are burned as a firebrand. |
|
|

My heart is smitten like grass, and withered;
For I forget to eat my bread. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:5 |
|
By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones
cleave to my flesh. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:6 |
|
I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am
become as an owl of the waste places. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:7 |
|
I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is
alone upon the house-top. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:8 |
|
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that
are mad against me do curse by me. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:9 |
|
For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled
my drink with weeping, |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:10 |
|
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath:
For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:11 |
|
My days are like a shadow that declineth; And
I am withered like grass. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:12 |
|
But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And
thy memorial name unto all generations. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:13 |
|
Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For
it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:14 |
|
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
And have pity upon her dust. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:15 |
|
So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah,
And all the kings of the earth thy glory. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:16 |
|
For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared
in his glory. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:17 |
|
He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute,
And hath not despised their prayer. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:18 |
|
This shall be written for the generation to
come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:19 |
|
For he hath looked down from the height of his
sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth; |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:20 |
|
To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose
those that are appointed to death; |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:21 |
|
That men may declare the name of Jehovah in
Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem; |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:22 |
|
When the peoples are gathered together, And
the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:23 |
|
He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened
my days. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:24 |
|
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst
of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:25 |
|
Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the
earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:26 |
|
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: |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:27 |
|
But thou art the same, And thy years shall have
no end. |
|
|
|
Psalm 102:28 |
|
The children of thy servants shall continue,
And their seed shall be established before thee. |
