Psalms 102:1-25

102:1

<
<A Prayer <08605>

of the afflicted
<06041>_,

when he is overwhelmed
<05848> (8799)_,

and poureth out
<08210> (8799)

his complaint
<07879>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>.>>

Hear
<08085> (8798)

my prayer
<08605>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

and let my cry
<07775>

come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee. {of: or, for}

102:2

Hide
<05641> (8686)

not thy face
<06440>

from me in the day
<03117>

[when] I am in trouble
<06862>_;

incline
<05186> (8685)

thine ear
<0241>

unto me: in the day
<03117>

[when] I call
<07121> (8799)

answer
<06030> (8798)

me speedily
<04118>_.

102:3

For my days
<03117>

are consumed
<03615> (8804)

like smoke
<06227>_,

and my bones
<06106>

are burned
<02787> (8738)

as an hearth
<04168>_.

{like...: or, (as some read) into smoke}

102:4

My heart
<03820>

is smitten
<05221> (8717)_,

and withered
<03001> (8799)

like grass
<06212>_;

so that I forget
<07911> (8804)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

my bread
<03899>_.

102:5

By reason of the voice
<06963>

of my groaning
<0585>

my bones
<06106>

cleave
<01692> (8804)

to my skin
<01320>_.

{skin: or, flesh}

102:6

I am like
<01819> (8804)

a pelican
<06893>

of the wilderness
<04057>_:

I am like an owl
<03563>

of the desert
<02723>_.

102:7

I watch
<08245> (8804)_,

and am as a sparrow
<06833>

alone
<0909> (8802)

upon the house top
<01406>_.

102:8

Mine enemies
<0341> (8802)

reproach
<02778> (8765)

me all the day
<03117>_;

[and] they that are mad
<01984> (8781)

against me are sworn
<07650> (8738)

against me.

102:9

For I have eaten
<0398> (8804)

ashes
<0665>

like bread
<03899>_,

and mingled
<04537> (8804)

my drink
<08249>

with weeping
<01065>_,

102:10

Because
<06440>

of thine indignation
<02195>

and thy wrath
<07110>_:

for thou hast lifted me up
<05375> (8804)_,

and cast me down
<07993> (8686)_.

102:11

My days
<03117>

[are] like a shadow
<06738>

that declineth
<05186> (8803)_;

and I am withered
<03001> (8799)

like grass
<06212>_.

102:12

But thou, O LORD
<03068>_,

shalt endure
<03427> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_;

and thy remembrance
<02143>

unto all
<01755>

generations
<01755>_.

102:13

Thou shalt arise
<06965> (8799)_,

[and] have mercy
<07355> (8762)

upon Zion
<06726>_:

for the time
<06256>

to favour
<02603> (8800)

her, yea, the set time
<04150>_,

is come
<0935> (8804)_.

102:14

For thy servants
<05650>

take pleasure
<07521> (8804)

in her stones
<068>_,

and favour
<02603> (8779)

the dust
<06083>

thereof.

102:15

So the heathen
<01471>

shall fear
<03372> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and all the kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>

thy glory
<03519>_.

102:16

When the LORD
<03068>

shall build up
<01129> (8804)

Zion
<06726>_,

he shall appear
<07200> (8738)

in his glory
<03519>_.

102:17

He will regard
<06437> (8804)

the prayer
<08605>

of the destitute
<06199>_,

and not despise
<0959> (8804)

their prayer
<08605>_.

102:18

This shall be written
<03789> (8735)

for the generation
<01755>

to come
<0314>_:

and the people
<05971>

which shall be created
<01254> (8737)

shall praise
<01984> (8762)

the LORD
<03050>_.

102:19

For he hath looked down
<08259> (8689)

from the height
<04791>

of his sanctuary
<06944>_;

from heaven
<08064>

did the LORD
<03068>

behold
<05027> (8689)

the earth
<0776>_;

102:20

To hear
<08085> (8800)

the groaning
<0603>

of the prisoner
<0615>_;

to loose
<06605> (8763)

those that are appointed
<01121>

to death
<08546>_;

{those...: Heb. the children of death}

102:21

To declare
<05608> (8763)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

in Zion
<06726>_,

and his praise
<08416>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

102:22

When the people
<05971>

are gathered
<06908> (8736)

together
<03162>_,

and the kingdoms
<04467>_,

to serve
<05647> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_.

102:23

He weakened
<06031> (8765)

my strength
<03581>

in the way
<01870>_;

he shortened
<07114> (8765)

my days
<03117>_.

{weakened: Heb. afflicted}

102:24

I said
<0559> (8799)_,

O my God
<0410>_,

take me not away
<05927> (8686)

in the midst
<02677>

of my days
<03117>_:

thy years
<08141>

[are] throughout all
<01755>

generations
<01755>_.

102:25

Of old
<06440>

hast thou laid the foundation
<03245> (8804)

of the earth
<0776>_:

and the heavens
<08064>

[are] the work
<04639>

of thy hands
<03027>_.
