:1
102:1
O Jehovah,
ahear my
1prayer;
And let my cry come unto You.
Psa. 102
:2
102:2
Do not hide Your face from me
On the day of my distress;
Incline Your ear to me;
On the day when I call out, answer me quickly.
Psa. 102
:3
102:3
For my days are consumed in
asmoke,
And my bones burn like a hearth.
Psa. 102
:4
102:4
My heart is stricken like grass and dried up;
Indeed I have
even forgotten to eat my bread.
Psa. 102
:5
102:5
Because of the voice of my groaning
My bones cling to my flesh.
Psa. 102
:6
102:6
I am like a
apelican of the wilderness;
I have become like an owl of the desolate places.
Psa. 102
:7
102:7
I awatch, and I am like
A lone
1bsparrow on a housetop.
Psa. 102
:8
102:8
All day long my enemies reproach me;
Those who deride me use me as a curse.
Psa. 102
:9
102:9
For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And have mixed my drink with weeping,
Psa. 102
:10
102:10
Because of Your indignation and Your wrath;
For You have taken me up and cast me away.
Psa. 102
:11
102:11
My days are like a
ashadow that declines,
And I am dried up like
bgrass.
Psa. 102
:12
102:12
aBut You, O Jehovah, abide forever;
And Your
bmemorial is from generation to generation.
Psa. 102
:13
102:13
You will arise
and have compassion on
1aZion,
For it is time to be gracious to her; the
bappointed time has come.
Psa. 102
:14
102:14
For Your servants take pleasure in her
astones,
And show favor to her
1soil.
Psa. 102
:15
102:15
And the nations will fear the name of Jehovah,
And all the kings of the earth, Your glory;
Psa. 102
:16
102:16
For Jehovah has
1abuilt up
bZion;
He has appeared in His
cglory.
Psa. 102
:17
102:17
He has regarded the prayer of the destitute,
And has not despised their prayer.
Psa. 102
:18
102:18
This will be written for a generation to come,
And a people to be created will praise
1Jehovah.
Psa. 102
:19
102:19
For He has
alooked down from the height of His sanctuary;
From heaven Jehovah beheld the earth,
Psa. 102
:20
102:20
To hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To release those appointed to die;
Psa. 102
:21
102:21
That the
1aname of Jehovah may be declared in
bZion,
And His praise, in Jerusalem,
Psa. 102
:22
102:22
When the peoples are gathered together,
And the
akingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
Psa. 102
:23
102:23
He has weakened my strength in the way;
He has shortened my days.
Psa. 102
:24
102:24
I said, My God,
Do not take me away in the middle of my days;
Your years are throughout all generations.
Psa. 102
:25
102:25
1aOf old You laid the
bfoundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the
cwork of Your hands.
Psa. 102
:26
102:26
aThey will perish, but You
bendure;
Indeed all of them will wear out like a
cgarment;
Like clothing You will change them,
And they will be changed.
Psa. 102
:27
102:27
But You are the
asame,
And Your years are without end.
Psa. 102
:28
102:28
The children of Your servants will continue,
And their seed will be established before You.
