- A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the LORD.
- 2
- Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to you!
- 3
- Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!
- 4
- For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.
- 5
- My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread.
- 6
- Because of my loud groaning my bones cling to my flesh.
- 7
- I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;
- 8
- I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.
- 9
- All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse.
- 10
- For I eat ashes like bread and mingle tears with my drink,
- 11
- because of your indignation and anger; for you have taken me up and thrown me down.
- 12
- My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
- 13
- But you, O LORD, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations.
- 14
- You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come.
- 15
- For your servants hold her stones dear and have pity on her dust.
- 16
- Nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.
- 17
- For the LORD builds up Zion; he appears in his glory;
- 18
- he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer.
- 19
- Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:
- 20
- that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,
- 21
- to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die,
- 22
- that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise,
- 23
- when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.
- 24
- He has broken my strength in midcourse; he has shortened my days.
- 25
- “O my God,” I say, “take me not away in the midst of my days— you whose years endure throughout all generations!”
- 26
- Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
- 27
- They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
- 28
- but you are the same, and your years have no end.
- 29
- The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you.
