| # Chapter 102
#### 1 | Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.
#### 2 | Don't hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
#### 3 | For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a firebrand.
#### 4 | My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, For I forget to eat my bread.
#### 5 | By reason of the voice of my groaning, My bones stick to my skin.
#### 6 | I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
#### 7 | I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
#### 8 | My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
#### 9 | For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with tears,
#### 10 | Because of your indignation and your wrath, For you have taken me up, and thrown me away.
#### 11 | My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
#### 12 | But you, Yahweh, will abide forever; Your renown endures to all generations.
#### 13 | You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
#### 14 | For your servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity on her dust.
#### 15 | So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; All the kings of the earth your glory.
#### 16 | For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
#### 17 | He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, And has not despised their prayer.
#### 18 | This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.
#### 19 | For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;
#### 20 | To hear the groans of the prisoner; To free those who are condemned to death;
#### 21 | That men may declare the name of Yahweh in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;
#### 22 | When the peoples are gathered together, The kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.
#### 23 | He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.
#### 24 | I said, 'My God, don't take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.
#### 25 | Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.
#### 26 | They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
#### 27 | But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
#### 28 | The children of your servants will continue. Their seed will be established before you.' Psalm 103 By David.
