Глава 102

1. ¶ HEAR my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
2. Turn 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.
3. For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are whitened as if they were burned.
4. My heart is smitten and withered like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread.
5. Because of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my skin.
6. I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert.
7. I am shaken and alone like a sparrow upon the house tops.
8. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; those who once praised me are now sworn against me.
9. I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10. Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11. My days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like grass.
12. ¶ But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever, and thy remembrance to all generations.
13. Arise and have mercy upon Zion; for it is time to have mercy upon her.
14. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof.
15. So the heathen shall worship the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16. When the LORD builds up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17. He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
18. This shall be written for the generation to come; and the people who shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19. For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth,
20. To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to death,
21. To declare the name of the LORD in Zion and his praises in Jerusalem,
22. When the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23. ¶ For they have weakened my strength on earth; they warned me of the shortage of my days.
24. O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days; thy years are throughout all generations.
25. Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture, they shall fade.
27. But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28. The children of thy servants shall continue and their descendants shall be established before thee.
