PSALMS ยท Chapter 102
102:1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto you.
102:2 Hide not your face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline
your ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned
as an hearth.
102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget
to eat my bread.
102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the
desert.
102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against
me are sworn against me.
102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with
weeping.
102:10 Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted
me up, and cast me down.
102:11 My days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like
grass.
102:12 But you, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and your remembrance
unto all generations.
102:13 You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour
her, yea, the set time, has come.
102:14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the
dust thereof.
102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the
kings of the earth your glory.
102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise
their prayer.
102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people
which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
102:19 For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from
heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are
appointed to death;
102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to
serve the LORD.
102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:
your years are throughout all generations.
102:25 Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens
are the work of your hands.
102:26 They shall perish, but you shall endure: yea, all of them shall
wax old like a garment; as a vesture shall you change them, and they shall
be changed:
102:27 But you are the same, and your years shall have no end.
102:28 The children of your servants shall continue, and their seed
shall be established before you.
