Psalms 102:28 - Prayer Tents

102GOD, listen! Listen to my prayer, listen to the pain in my cries.H8605H6041H5848H8210H7879H6440H3068H8085H8605H3068H7775H935 2Don't turn your back on me just when I need you so desperately. Pay attention! This is a cry for help! And hurry—this can't wait!H5641H6440H3117H6862H5186H241H3117H7121H6030H4118 3I'm wasting away to nothing, I'm burning up with fever.H3117H3615H6227H6106H2787H4168 4I'm a ghost of my former self, half-consumed already by terminal illness.H3820H5221H3001H6212H7911H398H3899 5My jaws ache from gritting my teeth; I'm nothing but skin and bones.H6963H585H6106H1692H1320 6I'm like a buzzard in the desert, a crow perched on the rubble.H1819H6893H4057H3563H2723 7Insomniac, I twitter away, mournful as a sparrow in the gutter.H8245H6833H909H1406 8All day long my enemies taunt me, while others just curse.H341H2778H3117H1984H7650 9They bring in meals—casseroles of ashes! I draw drink from a barrel of my tears.H398H665H3899H4537H8249H1065 10And all because of your furious anger; you swept me up and threw me out.H6440H2195H7110H5375H7993 11There's nothing left of me— a withered weed, swept clean from the path.H3117H6738H5186H3001H6212 12Yet you, GOD, are sovereign still, always and ever sovereign.H3068H3427H5769H2143H1755H1755 13You'll get up from your throne and help Zion— it's time for compassionate help.H6965H7355H6726H6256H2603H4150H935 14Oh, how your servants love this city's rubble and weep with compassion over its dust!H5650H7521H68H2603H6083 15The godless nations will sit up and take notice —see your glory, worship your name—H1471H3372H8034H3068H4428H776H3519 16When GOD rebuilds Zion, when he shows up in all his glory,H3068H1129H6726H7200H3519 17When he attends to the prayer of the wretched. He won't dismiss their prayer.H6437H8605H6199H959H8605 18Write this down for the next generation so people not yet born will praise GOD:H3789H1755H314H5971H1254H1984H3050 19"GOD looked out from his high holy place; from heaven he surveyed the earth.H8259H4791H6944H8064H3068H5027H776 20He listened to the groans of the doomed, he opened the doors of their death cells."H8085H603H615H6605H1121H8546 21Write it so the story can be told in Zion, so GOD's praise will be sung in Jerusalem's streetsH5608H8034H3068H6726H8416H3389 22And wherever people gather together along with their rulers to worship him.H5971H6908H3162H4467H5647H3068 23GOD sovereignly brought me to my knees, he cut me down in my prime.H6031H3581H1870H7114H3117 24"Oh, don't," I prayed, "please don't let me die. You have more years than you know what to do with!H559H410H5927H2677H3117H8141H1755H1755 25You laid earth's foundations a long time ago, and handcrafted the very heavens;H6440H3245H776H8064H4639H3027 26You'll still be around when they're long gone, threadbare and discarded like an old suit of clothes. You'll throw them away like a worn-out coat,H6H5975H1086H899H3830H2498H2498 27but year after year you're as good as new.H8141H8552 28Your servants' children will have a good place to live and their children will be at home with you."H1121H5650H7931H2233H3559H6440
