1 Jehovah, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto thee.
1A 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.
2 Hide not thy face from me: in the day of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me; in the day I call, answer me speedily.
2Hide 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.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.
3For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned.
4 My heart is smitten and withered like grass; yea, I have forgotten to eat my bread.
4Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my flesh.
5From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.
6 I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places;
6I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
7 I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
7I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.
8All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
9Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
10From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.
11 My days are like a lengthened-out shadow, and I, I am withered like grass.
11My days as a shadow <FI>are<Fi> stretched out, And I--as the herb I am withered.
12 But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.
12And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations.
13 Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.
13Thou--Thou risest--Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come.
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.
14For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.
15 And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
15And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of the earth Thine honour,
16 When Jehovah shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.
16For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour,
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute one, and not despise their prayer.
17He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:
18This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.
19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth,
19For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;
20To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
21 That the name of Jehovah may be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
21To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 When the peoples shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
22In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms--to serve Jehovah.
23 He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.
23He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days.
24 I said, MyGod, take me not away in the midst of my days! ...Thy years are from generation to generation.
24I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations <FI>are<Fi> Thine years.
25 Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:
25Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands <FI>are<Fi> the heavens.
26 They shall perish, but thou continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
26They--They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.
