Berean Standard Bible
A Prayer of the
afflicted when he is
feeble,
and before
Jehovah
poureth
out his plaint
. O
Jehovah,
hear my prayer, yea,
my cry to
Thee
cometh
.
A prayer of one
who
is
afflicted ,
when he grows
faint
and pours
out his lament
before
the
LORD
. Hear my prayer, O
LORD;
let
my cry for
help
come
before
You
.
Hide
not Thou
Thy
face from me ,
In a
day of mine
adversity,
Incline unto
me
Thine
ear ,
In
the
day
I
call,
haste,
answer me.
Do
not hide
Your
face from me in my
day of distress.
Incline Your
ear to
me;
answer me quickly
when
I
call
.
For consumed
in
smoke
have
been
my days, And my bones as
a
fire-brand
have
burned
.
For my days vanish
like
smoke
, and my bones burn
like
glowing
embers
.
Smitten
as
the
herb,
and
withered,
is
my heart, For
I have
forgotten
to eat my bread.
My heart is
afflicted
, and
withered
like
grass;
I even
forget
to eat my bread.
From
the
voice
of
my sighing
Hath
my bone
cleaved
to my flesh
.
Through
my loud
groaning
my flesh
clings
to my bones
.
I have
been
like to
a pelican
of
the
wilderness
, I
have
been
as
an owl of
the dry
places
.
I am
like a desert
owl
, like
an owl among
the ruins
.
I have
watched,
and
I am As
a bird alone
on the
roof
.
I lie
awake;
I am like
a lone
bird on a
housetop
.
All the
day mine
enemies reproached
me ,
Those
mad
at
me have
sworn
against
me.
All day long
my
enemies taunt
me ;
they
ridicule
me and
curse
me.
Because
ashes
as
bread
I have eaten ,
And my drink with weeping
have
mingled,
For
I have eaten ashes
like
bread
and mixed
my drink with tears
From
Thine
indignation and Thy
wrath, For Thou
hast
lifted
me up ,
And dost
cast me down
.
because
of
Your
indignation and wrath, for You
have
picked
me up and cast me aside
.
My days as
a
shadow
`
are '
stretched
out
, And I --
as
the
herb
I
am
withered
.
My days are like
lengthening
shadows
, and I wither
away
like
grass
.
And
Thou
, O Jehovah,
to
the
age
abidest
, And
Thy
memorial
to all generations.
But
You
, O LORD
, sit
enthroned
forever;
Your
renown
endures
to all generations.
Thou
--
Thou
risest
--
Thou
pitiest
Zion, For the
time to favour
her ,
For
the appointed time hath
come.
You
will
rise
up
and
have
compassion
on
Zion, for it
is
time to show
her favor—
the appointed time has
come.
For Thy
servants have
been
pleased
with
her stones ,
And her dust they
favour
.
For Your
servants delight
in
her stones and take
pity
on
her dust.
And
nations fear the name of Jehovah
, And all kings of the earth Thine
honour,
So
the
nations will
fear the name of the
LORD
, and all the
kings of the earth will
fear
Your
glory.
For Jehovah
hath
builded
Zion ,
He hath
been
seen
in His honour,
For the
LORD
will
rebuild
Zion ;
He has
appeared
in His glory.
He turned
unto
the prayer of the destitute ,
And
He hath
not despised
their prayer.
He will
turn
toward
the prayer of the destitute ;
He will
not despise
their prayer.
This is
written for a
later
generation, And
the
people created do
praise Jah
.
Let
this be
written for the
generation to
come
, so
that
a
people not
yet
created may
praise the
LORD
.
For He hath
looked From the high
place
of His sanctuary .
Jehovah
from heaven unto
earth looked
attentively,
For He looked down
from the heights
of His sanctuary ;
the
LORD
gazed
out
from heaven to
earth
To hear the
groan
of
the
prisoner
, To loose
sons
of
death,
to hear a
prisoner’s
groaning
, to release
those
condemned
to
death,
To
declare
in
Zion
the name of Jehovah,
And His
praise in Jerusalem,
that
they
may
proclaim
the name of the
LORD
in
Zion
and praise Him
in Jerusalem,
In
the
peoples being
gathered
together,
And the
kingdoms --
to serve Jehovah
.
when
peoples and kingdoms assemble
to serve the
LORD
.
He hath
humbled
in
the way my
power,
He hath
shortened
my days.
He has
broken
my
strength
on
the way ;
He has
cut
short
my days.
I say ,
`
My God, take me not
up
in the midst of my days ,'
Through all generations `are'
Thine
years
.
I say :
“O
my God, do
not
take me in the midst of my days !
Your
years
go
on
through all generations.
Beforetime
the earth Thou
didst
found
, And the work of Thy
hands `are'
the
heavens
.
In
the beginning
You
laid
the
foundations
of
the
earth, and the heavens
are
the
work of Your
hands.
They --
They
perish, and
Thou
remainest,
And
all of
them
as
a garment become
old,
As
clothing Thou
changest
them, And they are
changed
.
They will
perish, but
You
remain;
they
will
all wear
out
like
a garment .
Like
clothing You
will
change
them, and they will
be
passed
on
.
And
Thou
`art'
the same, and Thine
years are
not
finished
.
But
You
remain
the same, and Your
years will
never
end
.
The sons
of Thy
servants do
continue
, And their seed
before
Thee
is
established !
The children
of Your
servants will
dwell
securely
, and their descendants
will
be
established before
You.”
