    Psalm 102

    A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:1} Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:2} Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me speedily. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:3} For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:4} My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:5} By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:6} I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:7} I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:8} Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are sworn against me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:9} For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:10} Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:11} My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:12} But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:13} Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:14} For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:15} So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:16} When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:17} He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:18} This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:19} For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:20} To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:21} To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:22} When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:23} He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:24} I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:25} Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:26} They 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: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:27} But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

    {Psalms 102:28} The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
