1Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.studyinterlinear
2Hide 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.studyinterlinear
3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.studyinterlinear
4My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.studyinterlinear
5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.studyinterlinear
6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.studyinterlinear
7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.studyinterlinear
8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.studyinterlinear
9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,studyinterlinear
10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.studyinterlinear
11My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.studyinterlinear
12But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.studyinterlinear
13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.studyinterlinear
14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.studyinterlinear
15So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.studyinterlinear
16When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.studyinterlinear
17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.studyinterlinear
18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.studyinterlinear
19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;studyinterlinear
20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;studyinterlinear
21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;studyinterlinear
22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.studyinterlinear
23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.studyinterlinear
24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.studyinterlinear
25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.studyinterlinear
26They 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:studyinterlinear
27But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.studyinterlinear
28The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.studyinterlinear
