|
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 thee! |
2
|
Do not hide thy face from me in the day of my distress! Incline thy 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 smitten like grass, and withered; I forget to eat my bread. |
5
|
Because of my loud groaning my bones cleave to my flesh. |
6
|
I am like a vulture of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places; |
7
|
I lie awake, I am like a lonely bird 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 thy indignation and anger; for thou hast taken me up and thrown me away. |
11
|
My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass. |
12
|
But thou, O LORD, art enthroned for ever; thy name endures to all generations. |
13
|
Thou wilt arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come. |
14
|
For thy servants hold her stones dear, and have pity on her dust. |
15
|
The nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. |
16
|
For the LORD will build up Zion, he will appear in his glory; |
17
|
he will regard the prayer of the destitute, and will not despise their supplication. |
18
|
Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet unborn 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 men 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 mid-course; he has shortened my days. |
24
|
"O my God," I say, "take me not hence in the midst of my days, thou whose years endure throughout all generations!" |
25
|
Of old thou didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands. |
26
|
They will perish, but thou dost endure; they will all wear out like a garment. Thou changest them like raiment, and they pass away; |
27
|
but thou art the same, and thy years have no end. |
28
|
The children of thy servants shall dwell secure; their posterity shall be established before thee. |
