# Chapter 102
|
|
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
|
|
And let my cry come to You.
|
|
2 Do 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.
|
|
3 For my days are consumed like smoke,
|
|
And my bones are burned like a hearth.
|
|
4 My heart is stricken and withered like grass,
|
|
So that I forget to eat my bread.
|
|
5 Because of the sound of my groaning
|
|
My bones cling to my skin.
|
|
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness;
|
|
I am like an owl of the desert.
|
|
7 I lie awake,
|
|
And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.
|
|
8 My enemies reproach me all day long;
|
|
Those who deride me swear an oath against me.
|
|
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
|
|
And mingled my drink with weeping,
|
|
10 Because of Your indignation and Your wrath;
|
|
For You have lifted me up and cast me away.
|
|
11 My days are like a shadow that lengthens,
|
|
And I wither away like grass.
|
|
12 But You, O Lord, shall endure forever,
|
|
And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
|
|
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion;
|
|
For the time to favor her,
|
|
Yes, the set time, has come.
|
|
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
|
|
And show favor to her dust.
|
|
15 So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord,
|
|
And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
|
|
16 For the Lord shall build up Zion;
|
|
He shall appear in His glory.
|
|
17 He shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
|
|
And shall not despise their prayer.
|
|
18 This will be written for the generation to come,
|
|
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.
|
|
19 For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary;
|
|
From heaven the Lord viewed the earth,
|
|
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner,
|
|
To release those appointed to death,
|
|
21 To declare the name of the Lord in Zion,
|
|
And His praise in Jerusalem,
|
|
22 When the peoples are gathered together,
|
|
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
|
|
23 He weakened my strength in the way;
|
|
He shortened my days.
|
|
24 I said, “O my God,
|
|
Do not take me away in the midst of my days;
|
|
Your years are throughout all generations.
|
|
25 Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
|
|
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
|
|
26 They 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.
|
|
27 But You are the same,
|
|
And Your years will have no end.
|
|
28 The children of Your servants will continue,
|
|
And their descendants will be established before You.” |
