102A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and purs out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, And let my cry come to You.H8605H6041H5848H8210H7879H6440H3068H8085H8605H3068H7775H935

2Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; Incline Your ear to me; In the day that I call, answer me speedily.H5641H6440H3117H6862H5186H241H3117H7121H6030H4118

3For my days are consumed like smoke, And my bones are burned like a hearth.H3117H3615H6227H6106H2787H4168

4My heart is stricken and withered like grass, So that I forget to eat my bread.H3820H5221H3001H6212H7911H398H3899

5Because of the sound of my groaning My bones cling to my skin.H6963H585H6106H1692H1320

6I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert.H1819H6893H4057H3563H2723

7I lie awake, And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.H8245H6833H909H1406

8My enemies reproach me all day long, Those who deride me swear an oath against me.H341H2778H3117H1984H7650

9For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,H398H665H3899H4537H8249H1065

10Because of Your indignation and Your wrath; For You have lifted me up and cast me away.H6440H2195H7110H5375H7993

11My days are like a shadow that lengthens, And I wither away like grass.H3117H6738H5186H3001H6212

12But You, O LORD, shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.H3068H3427H5769H2143H1755H1755

13You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come.H6965H7355H6726H6256H2603H4150H935

14For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, And show favor to her dust.H5650H7521H68H2603H6083

15So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth Your glory.H1471H3372H8034H3068H4428H776H3519

16For the LORD shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory.H3068H1129H6726H7200H3519

17He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, And shall not despise their prayer.H6437H8605H6199H959H8605

18This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.H3789H1755H314H5971H1254H1984H3050

19For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary; From heaven the LORD viewed the earth,H8259H4791H6944H8064H3068H5027H776

20To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To release those appointed to death,H8085H603H615H6605H1121H8546

21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem,H5608H8034H3068H6726H8416H3389

22When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.H5971H6908H3162H4467H5647H3068

23He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.H6031H3581H1870H7114H3117

24I said, "O my God, Do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years are throughout all generations.H559H410H5927H2677H3117H8141H1755H1755

25Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.H6440H3245H776H8064H4639H3027

26They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will change them, And they will be changed.H6H5975H1086H899H3830H2498H2498

27But You are the same, And Your years will have no end.H8141H8552

28The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You."H1121H5650H7931H2233H3559H6440
