102:1 | |
102:2 |
Let not your face be veiled from me in the day of my trouble; give ear to me, and let my cry be answered quickly.
|
102:3 |
My days are wasted like smoke, and my bones are burned up as in a fire.
|
102:4 |
My heart is broken; it has become dry and dead like grass, so that I give no thought to food.
|
102:5 |
Because of the voice of my sorrow, my flesh is wasted to the bone.
|
102:6 |
I am like a bird living by itself in the waste places; like the night-bird in a waste of sand.
|
102:7 |
I keep watch like a bird by itself on the house-top.
|
102:8 |
My haters say evil of me all day; those who are violent against me make use of my name as a curse.
|
102:9 |
I have had dust for bread and my drink has been mixed with weeping:
|
102:10 |
Because of your passion and your wrath, for I have been lifted up and then made low by you.
|
102:11 |
My days are like a shade which is stretched out; I am dry like the grass.
|
102:12 |
But you, O Lord, are eternal; and your name will never come to an end.
|
102:13 |
You will again get up and have mercy on Zion: for the time has come for her to be comforted.
|
102:14 |
For your servants take pleasure in her stones, looking with love on her dust.
|
102:15 |
So the nations will give honour to the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will be in fear of his glory:
|
102:16 |
When the Lord has put up the walls of Zion, and has been been in his glory;
|
102:17 |
When he has given ear to the prayer of the poor, and has not put his request on one side.
|
102:18 |
This will be put in writing for the coming generation, and the people of the future will give praise to the Lord.
|
102:19 |
For from his holy place the Lord has seen, looking down on the earth from heaven;
|
102:20 |
Hearing the cry of the prisoner, making free those for whom death is ordered;
|
102:21 |
So that they may give out the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
|
102:22 |
When the peoples are come together, and the kingdoms, to give worship to the Lord.
|
102:23 |
He has taken my strength from me in the way; he has made short my days.
|
102:24 |
I will say, O my God, take me not away before my time; your years go on through all generations:
|
102:25 |
In the past you put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
|
102:26 |
They will come to an end, but you will still go on; they all will become old like a coat, and like a robe they will be changed:
|
102:27 |
But you are the unchanging One, and your years will have no end.
|
102:28 |
The children of your servants will have a safe resting-place, and their seed will be ever before you.
