A prayer for a time of suffering, when anyone feels weak and wants to tell their complaints to the Lord. Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help. |
2
|
Don't turn away from me when I have troubles. Listen to me, and answer me quickly when I cry for help. |
3
|
My life is passing away like smoke. My life is like a fire slowly burning out. |
4
|
My strength is gone— I am like dry, dying grass. I even forget to eat. |
5
|
Because of my sadness, I am losing so much weight that my skin hangs from my bones. |
6
|
I am lonely, like an owl living in the desert, like an owl living among old ruined buildings. |
7
|
I cannot sleep. I am like a lonely bird on the roof. |
8
|
My enemies insult me all the time. They make fun of me and use me as an example in their curses. |
9
|
My great sadness is my only food. My tears fall into my drink. |
10
|
You were angry with me, so you picked me up and threw me away. |
11
|
My life is almost finished, like the long shadows at the end of the day. I am like dry and dying grass. |
12
|
But you, Lord, will rule as king forever! Your name will continue forever and ever! |
13
|
You will rise up and comfort Zion. The time has come for you to be kind to Zion. |
14
|
Your servants love her stones. They love even the dust of that city! |
15
|
The nations will worship the Lord's name. All the kings on earth will honor you. |
16
|
The Lord will rebuild Zion, and people will again see her glory. |
17
|
He will listen to the prayers of those in poverty. He will not ignore them. |
18
|
Write these things for future generations, so that they will praise the Lord. |
19
|
The Lord will look down from his Holy Place above. He will look down at the earth from heaven. |
20
|
And he will hear the prisoner's prayers. He will free those who were condemned to die. |
21
|
Then people in Zion will tell about the Lord. They will praise his name in Jerusalem |
22
|
when nations gather together and kingdoms come to serve the Lord. |
23
|
My strength failed me. My life is cut short. |
24
|
So I said, "Don't let me die while I am still young. God, you will live forever and ever! |
25
|
Long ago, you made the world. You made the sky with your own hands! |
26
|
The earth and sky will end, but you will live forever! They will wear out like clothes, and like clothes, you will change them. |
27
|
But you never change. You will live forever! |
28
|
We are your servants today. Our children will live here, and their descendants will come here to worship you." |
