King James Version
Psalms • Chapter 102
1
A prayer of the poor when he faints and pours out his speech before the Lord.
2
O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry come to You.
3
Do not hide your face from me on the day of my distress; incline your ear to me; on the day I call, answer me quickly.
4
For all is consumed in smoke, my days, and my bones are like dried up wood.
5
He struck like grass, and my heart withered because I forgot to eat my bread.
6
From the voice of my lament, my bones cling to my flesh.
7
I became like a desert; I was like a dry land.
8
I have been watchful, and I am like a bird alone on the roof.
9
All day long my enemies have reproached me; those who mock me have sworn against me.
10
For dust like bread I have eaten, and my groaning has been soaked with weeping.
11
From before Your anger and Your wrath, for You have lifted me up and You have cast me down.
12
I am like a shadow stretched out, and I am like grass that withers.
13
But you, O Lord, will sit forever; and your name will be remembered from generation to generation.
14
You will arise, have compassion on Zion, for it is time to favor her, for the appointed time has come.
15
For your servants desire her stones and favor her dust.
16
And the nations shall fear Your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth, Your glory.
17
For the Lord has built Zion; He has appeared in His glory.
18
He turned to the prayer of the thornbush and did not despise their prayer.
19
This shall be written for a later generation, and a people yet to be created shall praise the Lord.
20
For He looked from the height of His sanctuary; the Lord gazed from heaven to earth.
21
To hear the cry of the prisoner, to set free those who are doomed to death.
22
To declare in Zion the name of the Lord and His praise in Jerusalem.
23
When peoples gather together and kingdoms to serve the LORD.
24
I am afflicted on the way; my strength is shortened.
25
Do not take me away in the midst of my days, in the generation of generations.
26
You established the earth in front of you, and the work of your hands is the heavens.
27
They will perish, but you will stand, and all of them will wear out like a garment; they will change like clothing.
28
And you are; your years will not come to an end.
