American Standard Version
Psalms, Chapter 102

   1: Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.
   2: Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily.
   3: For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.
   4: My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.
   5: By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.
   6: I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
   7: I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
   8: Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by 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 taken me up, and cast me away.
   11: My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.
   12: But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial [name] unto all generations.
   13: Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.
   14: For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.
   15: So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
   16: For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.
   17: He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.
   18: This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.
   19: For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;
   20: To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;
   21: That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;
   22: When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
   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 didst thou lay 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 shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
   27: But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.
   28: The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee.
