102:1 Lord Jehovah, hear my prayer, and my cry will enter to your presence!
102:2 Do not turn your face from me in the day of my affliction but bend your ear to me in the day that I call you and answer me quickly!
102:3 Because my days are finished in smoke and my bones are white as if they were burnt!
102:4 My heart withers like grass and is dried up because I have forgotten the food of my bread.
102:5 My flesh cleaves to my bones from the voice of my groanings!
102:6 I have been like a pelican in the wilderness and I have been like an owl in the desert.
102:7 I am terrified and have been alone like a sparrow that flies on the rooftops.
102:8 My enemies have reproached me all day and my praisers are sworn against me!
102:9 Because I have eaten ashes like bread and I have mixed my drink with weeping
102:10 From before your anger and your passion, for you have exalted me and you have cast me down!
102:11 My days have declined like the shadow and I have withered like the grass!
102:12 And you, Lord Jehovah, endure to eternity and your remembrance to a generation of generations!
102:13 Arise and show love upon Zion because the time has come to show love upon her!
102:14 Because your Servants delight in her stones and they love her dust!
102:15 The nations shall worship your Name, Lord Jehovah, and all the Kings of the earth, your honor!
102:16 Because Lord Jehovah builds up Zion and he shall appear in his glory!
102:17 And he turns to the prayer of the poor and does not despise their prayer.
102:18 This will be written for the following generation; the people to be created will glorify Lord Jehovah
102:19 For he looked out from the high place of his Holiness. Lord Jehovah looked out from Heaven to the Earth
102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoners and to release the children from death
102:21 That they may tell The Name of Lord Jehovah in Zion and his praises in Jerusalem!
102:22 Why do the nations gather as one, and the kingdoms to serve Lord Jehovah?
102:23 They humbled my power in the Earth and in the shortage of my days
102:24 He said to me, “Do not take me up in the middle of my days; your years are for a generation of generations.
102:25 You have prepared the Earth from the first and your hands made Heaven.
102:26 They pass away and you endure, and all of them are worn out like clothing and like a cloak they are changed.
102:27 And you are as you are, and your years do not end.
102:28 And the sons of your Servants will dwell in the Earth and their seed will be established before you.”
