Psalms 102
Authorized King James Version (1769) with AI Commentary
1Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.🔗🔍
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.🔗🔍
3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.🔗🔍
4My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.🔗🔍
5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.🔗🔍
6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.🔗🔍
7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.🔗🔍
8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.🔗🔍
9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,🔗🔍
10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.🔗🔍
11My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.🔗🔍
12But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.🔗🔍
13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.🔗🔍
14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.🔗🔍
15So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.🔗🔍
16When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.🔗🔍
17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.🔗🔍
18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.🔗🔍
19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;🔗🔍
20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;🔗🔍
21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;🔗🔍
22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.🔗🔍
23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.🔗🔍
24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.🔗🔍
25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.🔗🔍
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:🔗🔍
27But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.🔗🔍
28The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.🔗🔍
