| 1 | A Prayer of the afflicted, when he fainteth, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. |
| 1a | — |
| 2 | O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee. |
| 3 | Hide not Thy face from me in the day of my distress; incline Thine ear unto me; in the day when I call answer me speedily. |
| 4 | For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth. |
| 5 | My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread. |
| 6 | By reason of the voice of my sighing My bones cleave to my flesh. |
| 7 | I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places. |
| 8 | I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop. |
| 9 | Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me. |
| 10 | For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, |
| 11 | Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away. |
| 12 | My days are like a lengthening shadow; and I am withered like grass. |
| 13 | But Thou, O LORD, sittest enthroned for ever; and Thy name is unto all generations. |
| 14 | Thou wilt arise, and have compassion upon Zion; for it is time to be gracious unto her, for the appointed time is come. |
| 15 | For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and love her dust. |
| 16 | So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory; |
| 17 | When the LORD hath built up Zion, when He hath appeared in His glory; |
| 18 | When He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer. |
| 19 | This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. |
| 20 | For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; From heaven did the LORD behold the earth; |
| 21 | To hear the groaning of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death; |
| 22 | That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem; . |
| 23 | When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. |
| 24 | He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days. |
| 25 | I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations. |
| 26 | Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of Thy hands. |
| 27 | 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 pass away; |
| 28 | But Thou art the selfsame, And Thy years shall have no end. |
| 29 | The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, And their seed shall be established before Thee.' |
