A PrayerH8605 of the afflictedH6041, when he is overwhelmedH5848, and poureth outH8210 his complaintH7879 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, and let my cryH7775 comeH935 unto thee. {of: or, for}
HideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me in the dayH3117 when I am in troubleH6862; inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me: in the dayH3117 when I callH7121 answerH6030 me speedilyH4118.
For my daysH3117 are consumedH3615 like smokeH6227, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 as an hearthH4168. {like…: or, (as some read) into smoke}
My heartH3820 is smittenH5221, and witheredH3001 like grassH6212; so that I forgetH7911 to eatH398 my breadH3899.
By reason of the voiceH6963 of my groaningH585 my bonesH6106 cleaveH1692 to my skinH1320. {skin: or, flesh}
I am likeH1819 a pelicanH6893 of the wildernessH4057: I am like an owlH3563 of the desertH2723.
I watchH8245, and am as a sparrowH6833 aloneH909 upon the house topH1406.
Mine enemiesH341 reproachH2778 me all the dayH3117; and they that are madH1984 against me are swornH7650 against me.
For I have eatenH398 ashesH665 like breadH3899, and mingledH4537 my drinkH8249 with weepingH1065,
BecauseH6440 of thine indignationH2195 and thy wrathH7110: for thou hast lifted me upH5375, and cast me downH7993.
My daysH3117 are like a shadowH6738 that declinethH5186; and I am witheredH3001 like grassH6212.
But thou, O LORDH3068, shalt endureH3427 for everH5769; and thy remembranceH2143 unto allH1755 generationsH1755.
Thou shalt ariseH6965, and have mercyH7355 upon ZionH6726: for the timeH6256 to favourH2603 her, yea, the set timeH4150, is comeH935.
For thy servantsH5650 take pleasureH7521 in her stonesH68, and favourH2603 the dustH6083 thereof.
So the heathenH1471 shall fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 thy gloryH3519.
When the LORDH3068 shall build upH1129 ZionH6726, he shall appearH7200 in his gloryH3519.
He will regardH6437 the prayerH8605 of the destituteH6199, and not despiseH959 their prayerH8605.
This shall be writtenH3789 for the generationH1755 to comeH314: and the peopleH5971 which shall be createdH1254 shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3050.
For he hath looked downH8259 from the heightH4791 of his sanctuaryH6944; from heavenH8064 did the LORDH3068 beholdH5027 the earthH776;
To hearH8085 the groaningH603 of the prisonerH615; to looseH6605 those that are appointedH1121 to deathH8546; {those…: Heb. the children of death}
To declareH5608 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 in ZionH6726, and his praiseH8416 in JerusalemH3389;
When the peopleH5971 are gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and the kingdomsH4467, to serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
He weakenedH6031 my strengthH3581 in the wayH1870; he shortenedH7114 my daysH3117. {weakened: Heb. afflicted}
I saidH559, O my GodH410, take me not awayH5927 in the midstH2677 of my daysH3117: thy yearsH8141 are throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.
Of oldH6440 hast thou laid the foundationH3245 of the earthH776: and the heavensH8064 are the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
They shall perishH6, but thou shalt endureH5975: yea, all of them shall wax oldH1086 like a garmentH899; as a vestureH3830 shalt thou changeH2498 them, and they shall be changedH2498: {endure: Heb. stand}
But thou art the same, and thy yearsH8141 shall have no endH8552.
The childrenH1121 of thy servantsH5650 shall continueH7931, and their seedH2233 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.

There is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320 becauseH6440 of thine angerH2195; neither is there any restH7965 in my bonesH6106 becauseH6440 of my sinH2403. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}
