1 | Hear
my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. |
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. |
3 | For my days
are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. |
4 | My heart is smitten, and withered like
grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. |
5 | By reason 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 watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon
the house top. |
8 | Mine
enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn
against me. |
9 | For 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
declineth; and I am withered like grass. |
12 | But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy
remembrance unto all generations. |
13 | Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to
favour her, yea, the set time, is come. |
14 | For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and
favour the dust thereof. |
15 |
So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the
earth thy glory. |
16 | When
the LORD shall build 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 which shall be created shall praise the LORD. |
19 | For he hath 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 praise in Jerusalem; |
22 | When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to
serve the LORD. |
23 | He
weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. |
24 | I said, 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.
Heb 1:10
|
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:
Heb 1:11
|
27 |
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no
end.
Heb 1:12
|
28 | The children of
thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before
thee. |
