Psalm 102

- A Prayer of the afflicted, when
he is overwhelmed, and poureth

out his complaint before the LORD.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and
let my cry come unto thee.

Hide not thy face from me in the
day when I am in trouble; incline

thine ear unto me: in the day
when I call answer me speedily.

For my days are consumed like smoke,
and my bones are burned as an hearth.

My heart is smitten, and withered like
grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

By reason of the voice of my
groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness:
I am like an owl of the desert.

I watch, and am as a sparrow
alone upon the house top.

Mine enemies reproach me all
the day; and they that are mad

against me are sworn against me.

For I have eaten ashes like bread,
and mingled my drink with weeping.

Because of thine indignation
and thy wrath: for thou hast

lifted me up, and cast me down.

My days are like a shadow that
declineth; and I am withered like grass.

But thou, O Lord, shall endure for ever;
and thy remembrance unto all generations.

Thou shalt arise, and have mercy
upon Zion: for the time to favour

her, yea, the set time, is come.

For thy servants take pleasure in her
stones, and favour the dust thereof.

So the heathen shall fear the
name of the Lord, and all the

kings of the earth thy glory.

When the Lord shall build up Zion,
he shall appear in his glory.

He will regard the prayer of the
destitute, and not despise their prayer.

This shall be written for the generation
to come: and the people which shall

be created shall praise the Lord.

For he hath looked down from the
height of his sanctuary; from heaven

did the Lord behold the earth;

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to
loose those that are appointed to death;

To declare the name of the Lord in
Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

When the people are gathered together,
and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

He weakened my strength in
the way; he shortened my days.

I said, O my God, take me not away
in the midst of my days: thy years

are throughout all generations.

Of old hast thou laid the
foundation of the earth: and the

heavens are the work of thy hands.

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:

But thou art the same, and
thy years shall have no end.

The children of thy servants
shall continue, and their seed

shall be established before thee.
