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