102:1 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.

102:2 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.

102:3 For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.

102:4 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.

102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.

102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

102:7 I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.

102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.

102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,

102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

102:11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.

102:12 But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial [name] unto all generations.

102:13 Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.

102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.

102:15 So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.

102:16 For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.

102:17 He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.

102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.

102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;

102:20 To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;

102:21 That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;

102:22 When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.

102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

102:25 Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

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:

102:27 But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.

102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee. Psalm 103 [A Psalm] of David.
