Psalms Chapter 102 - American Standard Version
- 1
- (Psalm 102 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.)Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.
- 2
- Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily.
- 3
- For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.
- 4
- My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.
- 5
- By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.
- 6
- I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
- 7
- I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
- 8
- Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.
- 9
- For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,
- 10
- Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
- 11
- My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.
- 12
- But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial [name] unto all generations.
- 13
- Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.
- 14
- For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.
- 15
- So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
- 16
- For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.
- 17
- He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.
- 18
- This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.
- 19
- For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;
- 20
- To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;
- 21
- That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;
- 22
- When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
- 23
- He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
- 24
- I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.
- 25
- Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
- 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:
- 27
- But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.
- 28
- The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee.
