psalms 102

1 - Hear my prayer, The LORD!Let my cry come to you.
2 - Don't hide your face from me in the day of my distress.Turn your ear to me.Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
3 - For my days consume away like smoke.My bones are burned as a torch.
4 - My heart is blighted like grass, and withered,for I forget to eat my bread.
5 - By reason of the voice of my groaning,my bones stick to my skin.
6 - I am like a pelican of the wilderness.I have become as an owl of the waste places.
7 - I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
8 - My enemies reproach me all day.Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
9 - For I have eaten ashes like bread,and mixed my drink with tears,
10 - Because of your indignation and your wrath,for you have taken me up, and thrown me away.
11 - My days are like a long shadow.I have withered like grass.
12 - But you, The LORD, will remain forever;your renown endures to all generations.
13 - You will arise and have mercy on Zion;for it is time to have pity on her.Yes, the set time has come.
14 - For your servants take pleasure in her stones,and have pity on her dust.
15 - So the nations will fear The LORD's name;all the kings of the earth your glory.
16 - For the LORD has built up Zion.He has appeared in his glory.
17 - He has responded to the prayer of the destitute,and has not despised their prayer.
18 - This will be written for the generation to come.A people which will be created will praise Yah.
19 - For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary.From heaven, the LORD saw the earth;
20 - to hear the groans of the prisoner;to free those who are condemned to death;
21 - that men may declare The LORD's name in Zion,and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 - when the peoples are gathered together,the kingdoms, to serve The LORD.
23 - He weakened my strength along the course.He shortened my days.
24 - I said, "My God, don't take me away in the middle of my days.Your years are throughout all generations.
25 - Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth.The heavens are the work of your hands.
26 - They will perish, but you will endure.Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment.You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
27 - But you are the same.Your years will have no end.
28 - The children of your servants will continue.Their offspring will be established before you."
