1HEAR MY prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to You.
2Hide not Your face from me in the day when I am in distress! Incline Your ear to me; in the day when I call, answer me speedily.
3For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones burn like a firebrand {or} like a hearth.
4My heart is smitten like grass and withered, so that [in absorption] I forget to eat my food.
5By reason of my loud groaning [from suffering and trouble] my flesh cleaves to my bones.
6I am like a melancholy pelican {or} vulture of the wilderness; I am like a [desolate] owl of the waste places.
7I am sleepless {and} lie awake [mourning], like a bereaved sparrow alone on the housetop.
8My adversaries taunt {and} reproach me all the day; and they who are angry with me use my name as a curse.
9For I have eaten the ashes [in which I sat] as if they were bread and have mingled my drink with weeping
10Because of Your indignation and Your wrath, for You have taken me up and cast me away.
11My days are like an evening shadow that stretches out {and} declines [with the sun]; and I am withered like grass.
12But You, O Lord, are enthroned forever; and the fame of Your name endures to all generations.
13You will arise {and} have mercy {and} loving-kindness for Zion, for it is time to have pity {and} compassion for her; yes, the set time has come [the moment designated].
14For Your servants take [melancholy] pleasure in the stones [of her ruins] and show pity for her dust.
15So the nations shall fear {and} worshipfully revere the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth Your glory.
16When the Lord builds up Zion, He will appear in His glory;
17He will regard the plea of the destitute and will not despise their prayer.
18Let this be recorded for the generation yet unborn, that a people yet to be created shall praise the Lord.
19For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary, from heaven did the Lord behold the earth,
20To hear the sighing {and} groaning of the prisoner, to loose those who are appointed to death,
21So that men may declare the name of the Lord in Zion and His praise in Jerusalem
22When peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to worship {and} serve the Lord.
23He has afflicted {and} weakened my strength, humbling {and} bringing me low [with sorrow] in the way; He has shortened my days [aging me prematurely].
24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, You Whose years continue throughout all generations.
25At the beginning You existed {and} laid the foundations of the earth; the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26They shall perish, but You shall remain {and} endure; yes, all of them shall wear out {and} become old like a garment. Like clothing You shall change them, and they shall be changed {and} pass away.
27But You remain the same, and Your years shall have no end.
28The children of Your servants shall dwell safely {and} continue, and their descendants shall be established before You.
