1<\/strong> [A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah]. Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong> Hide 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.<\/p>\n

3<\/strong> For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong> My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.<\/p>\n

5<\/strong> By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong> I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong> I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.<\/p>\n

8<\/strong> Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.<\/p>\n

9<\/strong> For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,<\/p>\n

10<\/strong> Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.<\/p>\n

11<\/strong> My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.<\/p>\n

12<\/strong> But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial [name] unto all generations.<\/p>\n

13<\/strong> Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.<\/p>\n

14<\/strong> For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.<\/p>\n

15<\/strong> So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.<\/p>\n

16<\/strong> For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.<\/p>\n

17<\/strong> He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.<\/p>\n

18<\/strong> This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.<\/p>\n

19<\/strong> For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;<\/p>\n

20<\/strong> To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;<\/p>\n

21<\/strong> That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;<\/p>\n

22<\/strong> When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.<\/p>\n

23<\/strong> He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.<\/p>\n

24<\/strong> I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.<\/p>\n

25<\/strong> Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.<\/p>\n

26<\/strong> 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:<\/p>\n

27<\/strong> But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.<\/p>\n

28<\/strong> The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"iawp_total_views":0},"tags":[171,170,173,196],"class_list":["post-22624","bible_chapter","type-bible_chapter","status-publish","hentry","tag-asv","tag-bible","tag-old-testament","tag-psalms"],"yoast_head":"\nPsalms Chapter 102 - Easy To Understand<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read Psalms Chapter 102 and share your prayer request.
