Tehillim (Psalms) 102
102
1O יהוה, hear my prayer, And let my cry come to You.
2Do not hide Your face from me In the day of my distress; Incline Your ear to me; In the day I call, answer me speedily.
3For my days are consumed like smoke, And my bones are burned like a hearth.
4My heart is stricken and withered like grass, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5Because of the sound of my sighing My bones have cleaved to my flesh.
6I have been like a pelican of the wilderness, I have been like an owl of the desert.
7I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the house-top.
8My enemies reproached me all day long, Those who rave against me have sworn against me.
9For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mixed my drink with tears,
10Because of Your displeasure and Your wrath; For You have lifted me up And thrown me down.
11My days are like a shadow that lengthens, And I wither away like grass.
12But You, O יהוה, shall be enthroned forever, And the remembrance of You be to all generations.
13You Yourself shall arise And have compassion on Tsiyon, For the time to favour her, The appointed time, has come.
14For Your servants have been pleased with her stones, And they favour her dust.
15And the nations shall fear the Name of יהוה, And all the sovereigns of the earth Your esteem,
16For יהוה shall build up Tsiyon, He shall appear in His esteem.
17He shall turn unto the prayer of the destitute, And He shall not despise their prayer.
18This is written for a generation to come, So that a people to be created#See Psa. 22:31 praise Yah.
19For He looked down From the height of His set-apart place; From heaven יהוה viewed the earth,
20To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To release those appointed to death,
21To declare the Name of יהוה in Tsiyon, And His praise in Yerushalayim,
22When peoples gather together, And reigns, to serve יהוה.
23He has humbled my strength in the way; He has shortened my days.
24I said, “O my Ěl, Do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years are throughout all generations.
25“You did found the earth of old, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26They shall perish, but You remain; And all of them grow old like a garment; You change them like a coat, And they are changed.”
27“But You are the same, And Your years have no end.
28“The sons of Your servants continue, And their seed is established before You.”

Psalms 102
102
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.
1Hear my prayer, O Jehovah,
And let my cry come unto thee.
2Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress:
Incline thine ear unto me;
In the day when I call answer me speedily.
3For my days consume away like smoke,
And my bones are burned as a firebrand.
4My heart is smitten like grass, and withered;
For I forget to eat my bread.
5By reason of the voice of my groaning
My bones cleave to my flesh.
6I am like a pelican of the wilderness;
I am become as an owl of the waste places.
7I watch, and am become like a sparrow
That is alone upon the house-top.
8Mine enemies reproach me all the day;
They that are mad against me do curse by me.
9For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And mingled my drink with weeping,
10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath:
For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
11My days are like a shadow that declineth;
And I am withered like grass.
12But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever;
And thy memorial name unto all generations.
13Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion;
For it is time to have pity upon her,
Yea, the set time is come.
14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
And have pity upon her dust.
15So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah,
And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16For Jehovah hath built up Zion;
He hath appeared in his glory.
17He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute,
And hath not despised their prayer.
18This shall be written for the generation to come;
And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.
19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;
From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;
20To hear the sighing of the prisoner;
To loose those that are appointed to death;
21That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion,
And his praise in Jerusalem;
22When the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
23He weakened my strength in the way;
He shortened my days.
24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:
Thy years are throughout all generations.
25Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth;
And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26They shall perish, but thou shalt endure;
Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment;
As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27But thou art the same,
And thy years shall have no end.
28The children of thy servants shall continue,
And their seed shall be established before thee.
