| # Chapter 102
#### 1 | Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.
#### 2 | 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.
#### 3 | For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.
#### 4 | My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.
#### 5 | By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.
#### 6 | I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
#### 7 | I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
#### 8 | Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.
#### 9 | For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,
#### 10 | Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
#### 11 | My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.
#### 12 | But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial [name] unto all generations.
#### 13 | Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.
#### 14 | For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.
#### 15 | So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
#### 16 | For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.
#### 17 | He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.
#### 18 | This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.
#### 19 | For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;
#### 20 | To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;
#### 21 | That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;
#### 22 | When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
#### 23 | He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
#### 24 | I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.
#### 25 | Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
#### 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:
#### 27 | But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.
#### 28 | The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee. Psalm 103 [A Psalm] of David.
