102:1
Listen to my prayer, O LORD, and hear my cry for help! |
102:2
When I am in trouble, don't turn away from me!
Listen to me, and answer me quickly when I call! |
102:3
My life is disappearing like smoke; my body is burning like fire. |
102:4
I am beaten down like dry grass; I have lost my desire for food. |
102:5
I groan aloud; I am nothing but skin and bones. |
102:6
I am like a wild bird in the desert, like an owl in abandoned ruins. |
102:7
I lie awake; I am like a lonely bird on a housetop. |
102:8
All day long my enemies insult me; those who mock me use my name in cursing. |
102:9
Because of your anger and fury, ashes are my food, and my tears are mixed
with my drink. You picked me up and threw me away. |
102:10
(SEE 102:9) |
102:11
My life is like the evening shadows; I am like dry grass. |
102:12
But you, O LORD, are king forever; all generations will remember you. |
102:13
You will rise and take pity on Zion; the time has come to have mercy on her;
this is the right time. |
102:14
Your servants love her, even though she is destroyed; they have pity on her,
even though she is in ruins. |
102:15
The nations will fear the LORD; all the kings of the earth will fear his
power. |
102:16
When the LORD rebuilds Zion, he will reveal his greatness. |
102:17
He will hear his forsaken people and listen to their prayer. |
102:18
Write down for the coming generation what the LORD has done, so that people
not yet born will praise him. |
102:19
The LORD looked down from his holy place on high, he looked down from heaven
to earth. |
102:20
He heard the groans of prisoners and set free those who were condemned to
die. |
102:21
And so his name will be proclaimed in Zion, and he will be praised in
Jerusalem |
102:22
when nations and kingdoms come together and worship the LORD. |
102:23
The LORD has made me weak while I am still young; he has shortened my life. |
102:24
O God, do not take me away now before I grow old. O LORD, you live forever; |
102:25
long ago you created the earth, and with your own hands you made the heavens.
|
102:26
They will disappear, but you will remain; they will all wear out like
clothes. You will discard them like clothes, and they will vanish. |
102:27
But you are always the same, and your life never ends. |
102:28
Our children will live in safety, and under your protection their descendants
will be secure. |
