A Prayer8605 of the afflicted6041, when he is overwhelmed5848, and poureth out8210 his complaint7879 before6440 the LORD3068. Hear8085 my prayer8605, O LORD3068, and let my cry7775 come935 unto thee. of: or, for Hide5641 not thy face6440 from me in the day3117 when I am in trouble6862; incline5186 thine ear241 unto me: in the day3117 when I call7121 answer6030 me speedily4118. For my days3117 are consumed3615 like smoke6227, and my bones6106 are burned2787 as an hearth4168. like: or, (as some read) into smoke My heart3820 is smitten5221, and withered3001 like grass6212; so that I forget7911 to eat398 my bread3899. By reason of the voice6963 of my groaning585 my bones6106 cleave1692 to my skin1320. skin: or, flesh I am like1819 a pelican6893 of the wilderness4057: I am like an owl3563 of the desert2723. I watch8245, and am as a sparrow6833 alone909 upon the house top1406. Mine enemies341 reproach2778 me all the day3117; and they that are mad1984 against me are sworn7650 against me. For I have eaten398 ashes665 like bread3899, and mingled4537 my drink8249 with weeping1065, Because6440 of thine indignation2195 and thy wrath7110: for thou hast lifted me up5375, and cast me down7993. My days3117 are like a shadow6738 that declineth5186; and I am withered3001 like grass6212. But thou, O LORD3068, shalt endure3427 for ever5769; and thy remembrance2143 unto all1755 generations1755. Thou shalt arise6965, and have 7355 upon 6726: for the time6256 to favour2603 her, yea, the set time4150, is come935. For thy servants5650 take pleasure7521 in her stones68, and favour2603 the dust6083 thereof. So the heathen1471 shall fear3372 the name8034 of the LORD3068, and all the kings4428 of the earth776 thy 3519. When the LORD3068 shall build up1129 6726, he shall appear7200 in his 3519. He will regard6437 the prayer8605 of the destitute6199, and not despise959 their prayer8605. This shall be written3789 for the generation1755 to come314: and the people5971 which shall be created1254 shall praise1984 the LORD3050. For he hath looked down8259 from the height4791 of his sanctuary6944; from heaven8064 did the LORD3068 behold5027 the earth776; To hear8085 the groaning603 of the prisoner615; to loose6605 those that are appointed1121 to death8546; those: Heb. the children of death To declare5608 the name8034 of the LORD3068 in 6726, and his praise8416 in 3389; When the people5971 are gathered6908 together3162, and the kingdoms4467, to serve5647 the LORD3068. He weakened6031 my strength3581 in the way1870; he shortened7114 my days3117. weakened: Heb. afflicted I said559, O my God410, take me not away5927 in the midst2677 of my days3117: thy years8141 are throughout all1755 generations1755. Of old6440 hast thou laid the foundation3245 of the earth776: and the heavens8064 are the work4639 of thy hands3027. They shall perish6, but thou shalt endure5975: yea, all of them shall wax old1086 like a garment899; as a vesture3830 shalt thou change2498 them, and they shall be changed2498: endure: Heb. stand But thou art the same, and thy years8141 shall have no end8552. The children1121 of thy servants5650 shall continue7931, and their seed2233 shall be established3559 before6440 thee.
