English.png English text


1  Hear my prayer, O Lord : and let my crying come unto thee.

2  Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble : incline thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right soon.

3  For my days are consumed away like smoke : and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand.

4  My heart is smitten down, and withered liked grass : so that I forget to eat my bread.

5  For the voice of my groaning : my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh.

6  I am become like a pelican in the wilderness : and like an owl that is in the desert.

7  I have watched, and am even as it were a sparrow : that sitteth alone upon the house-top.

8  Mine enemies revile me all the day long : and they that are mad upon me are sworn together against me.

9  For I have eaten ashes as it were bread : and mingled my drink with weeping;

10  And that because of thine indignation and wrath : for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down.

11  My days are gone like a shadow : and I am withered like grass.

12  But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever : and thy remembrance throughout all generations.

13  Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion : for it is time that thou have mercy upon her, yea, the time is come.

14  And why? thy servants think upon her stones : and it pitieth them to see her in the dust.

15  The heathen shall fear thy Name, O Lord : and all the kings of the earth thy majesty;

16  When the Lord shall build up Sion : and when his glory shall appear;

17  When he turneth him unto the prayer of the poor destitute : and despiseth not their desire.

18  This shall be written for those that come after : and the people which shall be born shall praise the Lord.

19  For he hath looked down from his sanctuary : out of the heaven did the Lord behold the earth;

20  That he might hear the mournings of such as are in captivity : and deliver the children appointed unto death;

21  That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Sion : and his worship at Jerusalem;

22  When the people are gathered together : and the kingdoms also, to serve the Lord.

23  He brought down my strength in my journey : and shortened my days.

24  But I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of mine age : as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations.

25  Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth : and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

26  They shall perish, but thou shalt endure : they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

27  And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed : but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

28  The children of thy servants shall continue : and their seed shall stand fast in thy sight.
