1 A prayer of the afflicted when he was ouerwhelmed, and when he did powre out his petition before the face of God. Heare my prayer O God: and let my crying come in vnto thee. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to you! A prayer of an afflicted person who has grown weak and pours out a lament before the LORD. Hear my prayer, LORD; let my cry for help come to you.
2 Hyde not thy face from me in the day of my distresse: encline thine eare vnto me, heare me spedyly in the day that I call. Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call! Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.

7 (102:6) I watch, and am as it were a sparrowe that sitteth alone vpon the house toppe. I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop. I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof.
8 (102:7) Myne enemies reuile me all the day long: and they that are in a rage against me, make their oth by me. All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse. All day long my enemies taunt me; those who rail against me use my name as a curse.
9 (102:8) For I haue eaten asshes as it were bread, and mingled my drynke with weepyng, For I eat ashes like bread and mingle tears with my drink, For I eat ashes as my food and mingle my drink with tears
10 (102:8) because of thine indignation and wrath: for thou hast set me vp, and cast me downe. because of your indignation and anger; for you have taken me up and thrown me down. because of your great wrath, for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
11 (102:9) My dayes fade away lyke a shadowe: and I am wythered lyke grasse. My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass. My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
12 (102:10) But thou O God endurest for euer: and thy remembraunce throughout all generations. But you, O LORD, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations. But you, LORD, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.

14 (102:12) For thy seruauntes be well affected towarde her stones: and it pitieth them to see her in the dust. For your servants hold her stones dear and have pity on her dust. For her stones are dear to your servants; her very dust moves them to pity.
15 (102:13) And the heathen wyll feare thy name O God: and all the kynges of the earth thy glorious maiestie. Nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory. The nations will fear the name of the LORD, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.
16 (102:14) For God wyll buylde vp Sion: to be seene in his glorious maiestie. For the LORD builds up Zion; he appears in his glory; For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.
