Book of Psalms Chapter 102
19_PSA_102_01 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
19_PSA_102_02 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.
19_PSA_102_03 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
19_PSA_102_04 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
19_PSA_102_05 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
19_PSA_102_06 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
19_PSA_102_07 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
19_PSA_102_08 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
19_PSA_102_09 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
19_PSA_102_10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
19_PSA_102_11 My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
19_PSA_102_12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
19_PSA_102_13 Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
19_PSA_102_14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
19_PSA_102_15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
19_PSA_102_16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
19_PSA_102_17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
19_PSA_102_18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19_PSA_102_19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
19_PSA_102_20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
19_PSA_102_21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
19_PSA_102_22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
19_PSA_102_23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
19_PSA_102_24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.
19_PSA_102_25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.
19_PSA_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:
19_PSA_102_27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.
19_PSA_102_28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
