Psalms Chapter 102
|
|||
|
|
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before Yahweh. Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.
|
|||
|
|
2 Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
|
|||
|
|
3 For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.
|
|||
|
|
4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.
|
|||
|
|
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.
|
|||
|
|
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
|
|||
|
|
7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
|
|||
|
|
8 My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
|
|||
|
|
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
|
|||
|
|
10 because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.
|
|||
|
|
11 My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
|
|||
|
|
12 But you, Yahweh, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.
|
|||
|
|
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
|
|||
|
|
14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.
|
|||
|
|
15 So the nations will fear Yahweh’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.
|
|||
|
|
16 For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
|
|||
|
|
17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.
|
|||
|
|
18 This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah,
|
|||
|
|
19 for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth,
|
|||
|
|
20 to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,
|
|||
|
|
21 that men may declare Yahweh’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
|
|||
|
|
22 when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
23 He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.
|
|||
|
|
24 I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.
|
|||
|
|
25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.
|
|||
|
|
26 They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
|
|||
|
|
27 But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
|
|||
|
|
28 The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”
