Psalm 102 :: King James Version (KJV)

Prayer of an Afflicted Man for Mercy on Himself and on Zion.

Psa 102:1[[A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD.]] Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

Psa 102:2

Psa 102:2Hide 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.

Psa 102:3

Psa 102:3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

Psa 102:4

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

Psa 102:5

Psa 102:5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

Psa 102:6

Psa 102:6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

Psa 102:7

Psa 102:7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

Psa 102:8

Psa 102:8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

Psa 102:9

Psa 102:9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

Psa 102:10

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

Psa 102:11

Psa 102:11My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

Psa 102:12

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

Psa 102:13

Psa 102:13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

Psa 102:14

Psa 102:14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

Psa 102:15

Psa 102:15So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

Psa 102:16

Psa 102:16When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

Psa 102:17

Psa 102:17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

Psa 102:18

Psa 102:18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

Psa 102:19

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

Psa 102:20

Psa 102:20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

Psa 102:21

Psa 102:21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

Psa 102:22

Psa 102:22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

Psa 102:23

Psa 102:23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

Psa 102:24

Psa 102:24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

Psa 102:25

Psa 102:25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Psa 102:26

Psa 102:26They 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:

Psa 102:27

Psa 102:27But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

Psa 102:28

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