102:1 A Prayer 8605 of the afflicted 6041, when he is overwhelmed 5848 8799, and poureth out 8210 8799 his complaint 7879 before 6440 the LORD 3068. Hear 8085 8798 my prayer 8605, O LORD 3068, and let my cry 7775 come 935 8799 unto thee.(of: or, for)

102:2 Hide 5641 8686 not thy face 6440 from me in the day 3117 [when] I am in trouble 6862; incline 5186 8685 thine ear 241 unto me: in the day 3117 [when] I call 7121 8799 answer 6030 8798 me speedily 4118.

102:3 For my days 3117 are consumed 3615 8804 like smoke 6227, and my bones 6106 are burned 2787 8738 as an hearth 4168.(like…: or, (as some read) into smoke)

102:4 My heart 3820 is smitten 5221 8717, and withered 3001 8799 like grass 6212; so that I forget 7911 8804 to eat 398 8800 my bread 3899.

102:5 By reason of the voice 6963 of my groaning 585 my bones 6106 cleave 1692 8804 to my skin 1320.(skin: or, flesh)

102:6 I am like 1819 8804 a pelican 6893 of the wilderness 4057: I am like an owl 3563 of the desert 2723.

102:7 I watch 8245 8804, and am as a sparrow 6833 alone 909 8802 upon the house top 1406.

102:8 Mine enemies 341 8802 reproach 2778 8765 me all the day 3117; [and] they that are mad 1984 8781 against me are sworn 7650 8738 against me.

102:9 For I have eaten 398 8804 ashes 665 like bread 3899, and mingled 4537 8804 my drink 8249 with weeping 1065,

102:10 Because 6440 of thine indignation 2195 and thy wrath 7110: for thou hast lifted me up 5375 8804, and cast me down 7993 8686.

102:11 My days 3117 [are] like a shadow 6738 that declineth 5186 8803; and I am withered 3001 8799 like grass 6212.

102:12 But thou, O LORD 3068, shalt endure 3427 8799 for ever 5769; and thy remembrance 2143 unto all 1755 generations 1755.

102:13 Thou shalt arise 6965 8799, [and] have mercy 7355 8762 upon Zion 6726: for the time 6256 to favour 2603 8800 her, yea, the set time 4150, is come 935 8804.

102:14 For thy servants 5650 take pleasure 7521 8804 in her stones 68, and favour 2603 8779 the dust 6083 thereof.

102:15 So the heathen 1471 shall fear 3372 8799 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, and all the kings 4428 of the earth 776 thy glory 3519.

102:16 When the LORD 3068 shall build up 1129 8804 Zion 6726, he shall appear 7200 8738 in his glory 3519.

102:17 He will regard 6437 8804 the prayer 8605 of the destitute 6199, and not despise 959 8804 their prayer 8605.

102:18 This shall be written 3789 8735 for the generation 1755 to come 314: and the people 5971 which shall be created 1254 8737 shall praise 1984 8762 the LORD 3050.

102:19 For he hath looked down 8259 8689 from the height 4791 of his sanctuary 6944; from heaven 8064 did the LORD 3068 behold 5027 8689 the earth 776;

102:20 To hear 8085 8800 the groaning 603 of the prisoner 615; to loose 6605 8763 those that are appointed 1121 to death 8546;(those…: Heb. the children of death)

102:21 To declare 5608 8763 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 in Zion 6726, and his praise 8416 in Jerusalem 3389;

102:22 When the people 5971 are gathered 6908 8736 together 3162, and the kingdoms 4467, to serve 5647 8800 the LORD 3068.

102:23 He weakened 6031 8765 my strength 3581 in the way 1870; he shortened 7114 8765 my days 3117.(weakened: Heb. afflicted)

102:24 I said 559 8799, O my God 410, take me not away 5927 8686 in the midst 2677 of my days 3117: thy years 8141 [are] throughout all 1755 generations 1755.

102:25 Of old 6440 hast thou laid the foundation 3245 8804 of the earth 776: and the heavens 8064 [are] the work 4639 of thy hands 3027.

102:26 They shall perish 6 8799, but thou shalt endure 5975 8799: yea, all of them shall wax old 1086 8799 like a garment 899; as a vesture 3830 shalt thou change 2498 8686 them, and they shall be changed 2498 8799:(endure: Heb. stand)

102:27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years 8141 shall have no end 8552 8735.

102:28 The children 1121 of thy servants 5650 shall continue 7931 8799, and their seed 2233 shall be established 3559 8735 before 6440 thee.
