psa 102:1

  Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

psa 102:2

  Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

psa 102:3

  For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

psa 102:4

  My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

psa 102:5

  By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

psa 102:6

  I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

psa 102:7

  I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

psa 102:8

  Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

psa 102:9

  For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

psa 102:10

  Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

psa 102:11

  My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

psa 102:12

  But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

psa 102:13

  Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

psa 102:14

  For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

psa 102:15

  So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

psa 102:16

  When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

psa 102:17

  He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

psa 102:18

  This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

psa 102:19

  For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

psa 102:20

  To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

psa 102:21

  To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

psa 102:22

  When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

psa 102:23

  He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

psa 102:24

  I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

psa 102:25

  Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

psa 102:26

  They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

psa 102:27

  But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

psa 102:28

  The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
