A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD.

Prayer of the afflicted
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

H · G · S  
2 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.

H · G · S  
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

H · G · S  
4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

H · G · S  
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

H · G · S  
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

H · G · S  like a pelican
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

H · G · S  
8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

H · G · S  
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

H · G · S  
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

H · G · S  
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

H · G · S  
12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

H · G · S  
13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

H · G · S  the time to favour her
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

H · G · S  
15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

H · G · S  
16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

H · G · S  
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

H · G · S  
18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

H · G · S  shall be created
19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

H · G · S  
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

H · G · S  
21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

H · G · S  
22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

H · G · S  
23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

H · G · S  
24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

H · G · S  
25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

H · G · S  work of thy hands H110-12
26 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:

H · G · S  wax old like a garment
27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

H · G · S  thou art the same
28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

H · G · S
