Psa 102:1

Psa 102:1O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my cry for help!

Psa 102:2

Psa 102:2Do not ignore me in my time of trouble! Listen to me! When I call out to you, quickly answer me!

Psa 102:3

Psa 102:3For my days go up in smoke, and my bones are charred like a fireplace.

Psa 102:4

Psa 102:4My heart is parched and withered like grass, for I am unable to eat food.

Psa 102:5

Psa 102:5Because of the anxiety that makes me groan, my bones protrude from my skin.

Psa 102:6

Psa 102:6I am like an owl in the wilderness; I am like a screech owl among the ruins.

Psa 102:7

Psa 102:7I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof.

Psa 102:8

Psa 102:8All day long my enemies taunt me; those who mock me use my name in their curses.

Psa 102:9

Psa 102:9For I eat ashes as if they were bread, and mix my drink with my tears,

Psa 102:10

Psa 102:10because of your anger and raging fury. Indeed, you pick me up and throw me away.

Psa 102:11

Psa 102:11My days are coming to an end, and I am withered like grass.

Psa 102:12

Psa 102:12But you, O LORD, rule forever, and your reputation endures.

Psa 102:13

Psa 102:13You will rise up and have compassion on Zion. For it is time to have mercy on her, for the appointed time has come.

Psa 102:14

Psa 102:14Indeed, your servants take delight in her stones, and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins.

Psa 102:15

Psa 102:15The nations will respect the reputation of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will respect his splendor,

Psa 102:16

Psa 102:16when the LORD rebuilds Zion, and reveals his splendor,

Psa 102:17

Psa 102:17when he responds to the prayer of the destitute, and does not reject their request.

Psa 102:18

Psa 102:18The account of his intervention will be recorded for future generations; people yet to be born will praise the LORD.

Psa 102:19

Psa 102:19For he will look down from his sanctuary above; from heaven the LORD will look toward earth,

Psa 102:20

Psa 102:20in order to hear the painful cries of the prisoners, and to set free those condemned to die,

Psa 102:21

Psa 102:21so they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion, and praise him in Jerusalem,

Psa 102:22

Psa 102:22when the nations gather together, and the kingdoms pay tribute to the LORD.

Psa 102:23

Psa 102:23He has taken away my strength in the middle of life; he has cut short my days.

Psa 102:24

Psa 102:24I say, "O my God, please do not take me away in the middle of my life! You endure through all generations.

Psa 102:25

Psa 102:25In earlier times you established the earth; the skies are your handiwork.

Psa 102:26

Psa 102:26They will perish, but you will endure. They will wear out like a garment; like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear.

Psa 102:27

Psa 102:27But you remain; your years do not come to an end.

Psa 102:28

Psa 102:28The children of your servants will settle down here, and their descendants will live securely in your presence."
