UKJV - Psalms - 102

102:1  Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto you.

102:2  Hide not your face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline your ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

102:10  Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and cast me down.

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

102:12  But you, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and your remembrance unto all generations.

102:13  You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, has come.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

102:25  Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of your hands.

102:26  They shall perish, but you shall endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shall you change them, and they shall be changed:

102:27  But you are the same, and your years shall have no end.

102:28  The children of your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before you.
