A PRAYER OF ONE AFFLICTED, WHEN HE IS FAINT AND POURS OUT HIS COMPLAINT BEFORE THE LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to you! |
2
|
Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call! |
3
|
For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace. |
4
|
My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread. |
5
|
Because of my loud groaning my bones cling to my flesh. |
6
|
I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places; |
7
|
I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop. |
8
|
All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse. |
9
|
For I eat ashes like bread and mingle tears with my drink, |
10
|
because of your indignation and anger; for you have taken me up and thrown me down. |
11
|
My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass. |
12
|
But you, O LORD, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations. |
13
|
You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come. |
14
|
For your servants hold her stones dear and have pity on her dust. |
15
|
Nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory. |
16
|
For the LORD builds up Zion; he appears in his glory; |
17
|
he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer. |
18
|
Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD: |
19
|
that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the LORD looked at the earth, |
20
|
to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, |
21
|
that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise, |
22
|
when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD. |
23
|
He has broken my strength in midcourse; he has shortened my days. |
24
|
"O my God," I say, "take me not away in the midst of my days- you whose years endure throughout all generations!" |
25
|
Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. |
26
|
They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, |
27
|
but you are the same, and your years have no end. |
28
|
The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you. |
