KJVA - Psalms - 102

102:1  Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.

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.

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 thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

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

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

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

102:14  For thy 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 thy 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 hath 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: thy years are throughout all generations.

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

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:

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

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