1Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come to you.Select Psalms 102:1

2Hide not your face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline your ear to me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.Select Psalms 102:2

3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.Select Psalms 102:3

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

5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones stick to my skin.Select Psalms 102:5

6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.Select Psalms 102:6

7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone on the house top.Select Psalms 102:7

8My enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.Select Psalms 102:8

9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.Select Psalms 102:9

10Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and cast me down.Select Psalms 102:10

11My days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like grass.Select Psalms 102:11

12But you, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and your remembrance to all generations.Select Psalms 102:12

13You shall arise, and have mercy on Zion: for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come.Select Psalms 102:13

14For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof.Select Psalms 102:14

15So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth your glory.Select Psalms 102:15

16When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.Select Psalms 102:16

17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.Select Psalms 102:17

18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.Select Psalms 102:18

19For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;Select Psalms 102:19

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

21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;Select Psalms 102:21

22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.Select Psalms 102:22

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

24I said, O my God, take me not away in the middle of my days: your years are throughout all generations.Select Psalms 102:24

25Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of your hands.Select Psalms 102:25

26They shall perish, but you shall endure: yes, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a clothing shall you change them, and they shall be changed:Select Psalms 102:26

27But you are the same, and your years shall have no end.Select Psalms 102:27

28The children of your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before you.Select Psalms 102:28
