2Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto 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

5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave 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 upon the house top.Select Psalms 102:7

8Mine 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 thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.Select Psalms 102:10

13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.Select Psalms 102:13

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

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 hath 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 midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.Select Psalms 102:24

25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.Select Psalms 102:25

26They 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:Select Psalms 102:26

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

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