Psalms 102
1 A prayer of an afflicted [person] if he grows faint and before Yahweh he pours out complaint his. O Yahweh hear! prayer my and cry for help my to you let it come.
A prayer from someone who is suffering and is tired out, pouring out their troubles to the Lord. Lord please hear my prayer, my cry for help!
2 May not you hide face your - from me on [the] day [when] it is distress to me incline to me ear your on [the] day [when] I will call out hurry answer me.
Don't hide your face from me in my time of trouble! Turn and listen to me, and answer me quickly when I call.
3 For they have come to an end in smoke days my and bones my like a hearth they have been burned.
My life is disappearing like smoke; my body feels like it's on fire!
4 It has been struck like vegetation and it has withered heart my for I have forgotten from eating food my.
I'm like grass that's dried up, withered away—I even forget to eat!
5 From [the] sound of groaning my it clings bone[s] my to flesh my.
All my groaning has worn me out; my bones show through my skin.
6 I am like a desert owl of [the] wilderness I am like an owl of [the] waste places.
I'm like a desert owl, like a little owl among the ruins.
7 I am wakeful and I have become like a bird isolated on a roof.
I can't sleep. I'm like a lonely bird on a rooftop.
8 All the day they have taunted me enemies my [those who] mock me by me they have sworn.
My enemies taunt me all day long. They mock me and swear at me.
9 For ash[es] like food I have eaten and drinks my with weeping I have mixed.
Ashes are the food I eat; my tears drip into my drink,
10 Because of indignation your and wrath your for you have picked up me and you have thrown away me.
because of your anger and hostility, for you have picked me up and tossed me away.
11 Days my [are] like a shadow extended and I like vegetation I am withering.
My life is fading away like a shadow that lengthens—I'm withering away like grass.
12 And you O Yahweh for ever you sit and remembrance of you [is] to a generation and a generation.
But you, Lord, reign forever, your fame will last for all generations.
13 You you will arise you will have compassion on Zion for [it is] [the] time to show favor to it for it has come [the] appointed time.
You will take action and have pity on Jerusalem, for it's time to be kind to the city, the time has come.
14 For they take pleasure in servants your stones its and dust its they show favor to.
For the people who follow you love its stones; they value even its dust!
15 And they may fear nations [the] name of Yahweh and all [the] kings of the earth glory your.
Then the nations will be in awe of who you are, Lord; all the kings of the earth will be in awe of your glory.
16 For he has built Yahweh Zion he has appeared in glory his.
For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem; he will appear in glory.
17 He has turned to [the] prayer of the destitute person and not he has despised prayer their.
He will pay attention to the prayers of the homeless; he will not disregard their requests.
18 Let it be written this for a generation later and a people [who will] be created it will praise Yahweh.
Let this be recorded for generations to come, so that people yet to be born may praise the Lord:
19 For he has looked down from [the] height of holiness his Yahweh from heaven - to earth he has looked.
The Lord looked down from above, from the heights of his holy place; he looked down from heaven to the earth,
20 To hear [the] groaning of prisoner[s] to set free [the] sons of death.
to respond to the groans of prisoners, to set free the children of death.
21 To recount in Zion [the] name of Yahweh and praise his in Jerusalem.
As a result the wonderful nature of the Lord will be celebrated with praise in Jerusalem,
22 When gather peoples together and kingdoms to serve Yahweh.
when the people of many kingdoms gather together to worship the Lord.
23 He has humbled in the way (strength my *Q(K)*) he has cut short days my.
But as for me, he broke my health while I was still young, cutting my life short.
24 I said O God my may not you lift up me in [the] middle of days my [are] in a generation of generations years your.
I cried out, “My God, don't take my life while I'm young! You are the one who lives forever.
25 Before the earth you founded and [were] [the] work of hands your [the] heavens.
Long ago you created the earth; you made the heavens.
26 They - they will perish and you you will endure and all of them like garment they will wear out like clothing you will change them and they may pass away.
They will come to an end, but you will not. They will all wear out, like clothes—you will change them, and throw them away.
27 And you [are] he and years your not they will come to an end.
But you are the one who always is; your years never come to an end.
28 [the] children of Servants your they will dwell and offspring their before you it will be established.
Our children will live with you, and our children's children will grow in your presence.”
