Psalms
Chapter
102
1
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah/God,
and
let my cry come unto you.
2
Hide not your face from me in the day
when
I am in trouble;
incline
your ear unto me.
In
the day when I call answer me speedily.
3
For my days are consumed like smoke,
and
my bones are burned as an hearth.
4
My heart is smitten,
and
withered like grass;
so
that I forget to eat my bread.
5
By reason of the voice of my groaning
my
bones cleave to my skin.
6
I am like a pelican of the wilderness.
I
am like an owl of the desert.
7
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
8
My enemies reproach me all the day;
and
those who are mad against me are sworn 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 down.
11
My days are like a shadow that declines;
and
I am withered like grass.
12
But you, O Jehovah/God, shall endure forever;
and
your remembrance unto all generations.
13
You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion . . .
for
the time to favor her,
yes,
the set time, is come.
14
For your servants take pleasure in her stones,
and
favor the dust thereof.
15
So the heathen shall fear the name of Jehovah/God,
and
all the kings of the earth your glory.
102:16~~For
Jehovah/God build up {banah} Zion.
He
has appeared in His glory.
17~~He
has regarded the prayer of the destitute
{idiom: `ar`ar literally 'the naked on the streets'}.
He
has not despised their prayer.
18
This shall be written for the generation to come
and
the people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah/God.
19
For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary;
from
heaven did Jehovah/God behold the earth; 20
to
hear the groaning of the prisoner;
to
loose those who are appointed to death; 21
to
declare the name of Jehovah/God in Zion,
and
his praise in Jerusalem; 22
when
the people are gathered together,
and
the kingdoms,
to
serve Jehovah/God.
23
He weakened my strength in the Way;
he
shortened my days.
24
I said, O my 'Elohiym/Godhead,
take
me not away in the midst of my days.
Your
years are throughout all generations.
25
Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth
and
the heavens are the work of your hands.
26
They shall perish, but you shall endure.
Yes,
all of them shall wax old like a garment;
as
a vesture shall you change them,
and
they shall be changed:
27
But you are the same,
and
your years shall have no end.
28
The children of your servants shall continue,
and
their seed shall be established before you.
