Psalms Chapter 102

• Psalms 102:1
  Psalms.
• Psalms 102:2
  A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, LORD! Let my cry come to you.
• Psalms 102:3
  Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
• Psalms 102:4
  For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.
• Psalms 102:5
  My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.
• Psalms 102:6
  By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.
• Psalms 102:7
  I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
• Psalms 102:8
  I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
• Psalms 102:9
  My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
• Psalms 102:10
  For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
• Psalms 102:11
  because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.
• Psalms 102:12
  My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
• Psalms 102:13
  But you, LORD, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.
• Psalms 102:14
  You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
• Psalms 102:15
  For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.
• Psalms 102:16
  So the nations will fear the LORD’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.
• Psalms 102:17
  For the LORD has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
• Psalms 102:18
  He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.
• Psalms 102:19
  This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise the LORD,
• Psalms 102:20
  for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, the LORD saw the earth,
• Psalms 102:21
  to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,
• Psalms 102:22
  that men may declare the LORD’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
• Psalms 102:23
  when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
• Psalms 102:24
  He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.
• Psalms 102:25
  I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.
• Psalms 102:26
  Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.
• Psalms 102:27
  They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
• Psalms 102:28
  But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
• Psalms 102:29
  The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”
