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 for the Poor; when he is deeply afflicted, and pours out his supplication before the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you.
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.
Turn not away your face from me: in the day [when] I am afflicted, incline your ear to me: in the day [when] I shall call upon you, speedily hear me.
3 For they have come to an end in smoke days my and bones my like a hearth they have been burned.
For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have been parched like a stick.
4 It has been struck like vegetation and it has withered heart my for I have forgotten from eating food my.
I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5 From [the] sound of groaning my it clings bone[s] my to flesh my.
By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bone has cleaved to my flesh.
6 I am like a desert owl of [the] wilderness I am like an owl of [the] waste places.
I have become like a pelican of the wilderness;
7 I am wakeful and I have become like a bird isolated on a roof.
I have become like an owl in a ruined house. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.
8 All the day they have taunted me enemies my [those who] mock me by me they have sworn.
All the day long mine enemies have reproached me; and they that praised me have sworn against me.
9 For ash[es] like food I have eaten and drinks my with weeping I have mixed.
For I have eaten ashes as it were bread, and mingled my drink with weeping;
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 your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and dashed me down.
11 Days my [are] like a shadow extended and I like vegetation I am withering.
My days have declined like a shadow; and I am withered 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, endure for ever, and your memorial to generation and generation.
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 shall arise, and have mercy upon Sion: for [it is] time to have mercy upon her, for the set time is come.
14 For they take pleasure in servants your stones its and dust its they show favor to.
For your servants have taken pleasure in her stones, and they shall pity her dust.
15 And they may fear nations [the] name of Yahweh and all [the] kings of the earth glory your.
So the nations shall fear your name, O Lord, and all kings your glory.
16 For he has built Yahweh Zion he has appeared in glory his.
For the Lord shall build up Sion, and shall appear in his glory.
17 He has turned to [the] prayer of the destitute person and not he has despised prayer their.
He has had regard to the prayer of the lowly, and has not despised their petition.
18 Let it be written this for a generation later and a people [who will] be created it will praise Yahweh.
Let this be written for another generation; and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord.
19 For he has looked down from [the] height of holiness his Yahweh from heaven - to earth he has looked.
For he has looked out from the height of his sanctuary; the Lord looked upon the earth from heaven;
20 To hear [the] groaning of prisoner[s] to set free [the] sons of death.
to hear the groaning of the fettered ones, to loosen the sons of the slain;
21 To recount in Zion [the] name of Yahweh and praise his in Jerusalem.
to proclaim the name of the Lord in Sion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 When gather peoples together and kingdoms to serve Yahweh.
when the people are gathered together, and the kings, to serve the Lord.
23 He has humbled in the way (strength my *Q(K)*) he has cut short days my.
He answered him in the way of his strength: tell me the fewness of my days.
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.
Take me not away in the midst of my days: your years [are] through all generations.
25 Before the earth you founded and [were] [the] work of hands your [the] heavens.
In the beginning you, O Lord, did lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands.
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 shall perish, but you remain: and [they all] shall wax old as a garment; and as a vesture shall you fold them, and they shall be changed.
27 And you [are] he and years your not they will come to an end.
But you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
28 [the] children of Servants your they will dwell and offspring their before you it will be established.
The children of your servants shall dwell [securely], and their seed shall prosper for ever.
