102:1 |
[A Prayer of the Afflicted, when he is faint, and pours out his complaint before the Lord]. Hear my prayer, O LORD! And let my cry for help come to Thee.
|
102:2 |
Do not hide Thy face from me in the day of my distress; Incline Thine ear to me; In the day when I call answer me quickly.
|
102:3 |
For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have been scorched like a hearth.
|
102:4 |
My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away, Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.
|
102:5 |
Because of the loudness of my groaning My bones cling to my flesh.
|
102:6 |
I resemble a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the waste places.
|
102:7 |
I lie awake, I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.
|
102:8 |
My enemies have reproached me all day long; Those who deride me have used my [name] as a curse.
|
102:9 |
For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,
|
102:10 |
Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; For Thou hast lifted me up and cast me away.
|
102:11 |
My days are like a lengthened shadow; And I wither away like grass.
|
102:12 |
But Thou, O LORD, dost abide forever; And Thy name to all generations.
|
102:13 |
Thou wilt arise [and] have compassion on Zion; For it is time to be gracious to her, For the appointed time has come.
|
102:14 |
Surely Thy servants find pleasure in her stones, And feel pity for her dust.
|
102:15 |
So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth Thy glory.
|
102:16 |
For the LORD has built up Zion; He has appeared in His glory.
|
102:17 |
He has regarded the prayer of the destitute, And has not despised their prayer.
|
102:18 |
This will be written for the generation to come; That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.
|
102:19 |
For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven the LORD gazed upon the earth,
|
102:20 |
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; To set free those who were doomed to death;
|
102:21 |
That [men] may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem;
|
102:22 |
When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
|
102:23 |
He has weakened my strength in the way; He has shortened my days.
|
102:24 |
I say, "O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Thy years are throughout all generations.
|
102:25 |
"Of old Thou didst found the earth; And the heavens are the work of Thy hands.
|
102:26 |
"Even they will perish, but Thou dost endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing Thou wilt change them, and they will be changed.
|
102:27 |
"But Thou art the same, And Thy years will not come to an end.
|
102:28 |
"The children of Thy servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before Thee."
