Psalms 102

ECB(i) 1 A Prayer of the humble when he languishes and pours out his meditation at the face of Yah Veh. Hear my prayer, O Yah Veh so that my cry comes to you. 2 Hide not your face from me in the day of my tribulation; spread your ear to me; in the day I call, hasten - answer me. 3 For my days finish off as smoke and my bones scorch as a burning: 4 my heart is smitten and withers as herbage; so that I forget to eat my bread: 5 by reason of the voice of my sighing my bones adhere to my flesh: 6 I am likened to a pelican of the wilderness - as an owl of the parched areas. 7 I watch; and I am as a bird alone on the roof: 8 my enemies reproach me all the day and they who halal me oath against me. 9 For I eat ashes as bread and mix my drink with weeping 10 at the face of your indignation and your rage: for you lift me up and cast me down: 11 my days spread as a shadow; and I wither as herbage. 12 And you, O Yah Veh, settle eternal; and your memorial generation to generation: 13 You - you rise; you mercy Siyon; for the time to grant her charism - yes, the season has come. 14 For your servants are pleased in her stones and grant charism to the dust. 15 And the goyim awe the name of Yah Veh and all the sovereigns of the earth your honor. 16 Yah Veh built Siyon; he appears in his honor: 17 he faces the prayer of the naked and despises not their prayer: 18 inscribe this for the generation after; and the people to be created, to halal Yah. 19 For he sees from the height of his holies: from the heavens Yah Veh scans the earth 20 - to hear the shrieking of the bound; to loose the sons of death; 21 to scribe the name of Yah Veh in Siyon and his halal in Yeru Shalem; 22 in the gathering of the people and the sovereigndoms to serve Yah Veh. 23 He humbles my force in the way; he curtails my days. 24 I say, O my El, ascend me not midst my days; your years are generation to generation. 25 At your face you founded the earth; and the heavens are the work of your hands: 26 they - they destruct, and you stand; yes, they all wear out as clothes; as a robe you change them and changed they are; 27 and you are the same and your years consummate not. 28 The sons of your servants tabernacle and their seed establishes at your face.
