| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1LORD, hear my prayer! May my cry for help come to you. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Do not hide your face from me when I am in trouble. Listen to me. When I call to out you, hurry to answer me! |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For my days are vanishing like smoke; my bones are charred as in a fireplace. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Withered like grass, my heart is overwhelmed, and I have even forgotten to eat my food. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Because of the sound of my sighing, my bones cling to my skin. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I resemble a pelican in the wilderness or an owl in a desolate land. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I lie awake, yet I am like a bird isolated on a rooftop. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8My enemies revile me all day long; those who ridicule me use my name to curse. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9I have eaten ashes as food and mixed my drink with tears |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10because of your indignation and wrath, when you lifted and threw me away. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11My life is like a declining shadow, and I am withering like a plant. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But you, LORD, are enthroned forever; You are remembered throughout all generations. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You will arise to extend compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor— the appointed time has come. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Your servants take pleasure in its stones and delight in its debris. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth, your splendor. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16When the LORD rebuilds Zion, he will appear in his glory. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17He will turn to the prayer of the destitute, not despising their prayer. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Write this for the next generation, that a people yet to be created will praise the LORD. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For when he looked down from his holy heights— the LORD looked over the earth from heaven— |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20to listen to the groans of prisoners, to set free those condemned to death, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21so they would declare the name of the LORD in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem, |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22when people and kingdoms gather together to serve the LORD. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23He has weakened my strength along the way. He has cut short my days. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24I say, "My God, whose years continue through all generations, do not take me in the middle of my life. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25You established the earth long ago; the heavens are the work of your hands. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26They will perish, but you will remain; and they all will become worn out, like a garment. You will change them like clothing, and they will pass away. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27But you remain the same; your years never end. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28May the descendants of your servants live securely, and may their children be established in your presence." |
