me: in the day°
[when] I call°°
answer°°
me speedily.°° |

102:3
For°
my days°
are consumed°°
like smoke,°
and my bones°
are burned°°
as°
an hearth.° |

102:4
I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread. |

102:4
My heart°

I am like°°
a pelican°
of the wilderness:°
I am°
like an owl°
of the desert.° |
|
102:7
I have become like an owl in a ruined house. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof. |
|
102:7
I watch,°°
and am°
as a sparrow°
alone°°
upon°
the house top.° |
|
102:8
All the day long mine enemies have reproached me; and they that praised me have sworn against me. |
|
102:8
Mine enemies°°
reproach°°
me all°
the day;°
[and] they that are mad°°
against me are sworn°°
against me. |

102:9
For I have eaten ashes as it were bread, and mingled my drink with weeping; |
|
102:9
For°
I have eaten°°
ashes°
like bread,°
and mingled°°
my drink°
with weeping,° |
|
102:10
because of thine anger and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and dashed me down. |
|
102:10
Because°°
of thine indignation°
and thy wrath:°
for°
thou hast lifted me up,°°
and cast me down.°° |
|
102:11
My days have declined like a shadow; and I am withered like grass. |
|
102:11
My days°
[are] like a shadow°
that declineth;°°
and I°
am withered°°
like grass.° |
|
102:12

upon°
Zion:°
for°
the time°
to favour°°
her, yea,°
the set time,°

102:14
For°
thy servants°
take pleasure°°

This°
shall be written°°
for the generation°
to come:°
and the people°
which shall be created°°

Yah.° |
|
102:19
For he has looked out from the height of his sanctuary; the Lord looked upon the earth from heaven; |
|
102:19
For°
he hath looked down°°
from the height°°
of his sanctuary;°
from heaven°°
did Yahweh°
behold°°°
the earth;° |
|
102:20
to hear the groaning of the fettered ones, to loosen the sons of the slain; |
|
102:20
To hear°°
the groaning°
of the prisoner;°
to loose°°
those that are appointed°
to death;° |
|
102:21
to proclaim the name of the Lord in Zion{gr.Sion}, and his praise in Jerusalem; |
|
102:21

He answered him in the way of his strength: tell me the fewness of my days. |
|
102:23
He weakened°°
my strength°
in the way;°
he shortened°°
my days.° |
|
102:24
Take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] through all generations. |
|
102:24
I said,°°
O my El,°
take°
me not°
away°°
in the midst°
of my days:°
thy years°
[are] throughout all°
generations.° |
|
102:25
In the beginning thou, O Lord, didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands. |
|
102:25
Of old°
hast thou laid the foundation°°
of the earth:°
and the heavens°
[are] the work°
of thy hands.° |

102:26
They shall perish, but thou remainest: and [they all] shall wax old as a garment; and as a vesture shalt thou fold them, and they shall be changed. |

102:26
They°
shall perish,°°

shalt endure:°°
yea, all°
of them shall wax old°°
like a garment;°
as a vesture°
shalt thou change°°
them, and they shall be changed:°° |
|
102:27
But thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. |
