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.

Let the sighingH603 of the prisonerH615 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; according to the greatnessH1433 of thy powerH2220 preserveH3498 thou those that are appointedH1121 to dieH8546; {thy…: Heb. thine arm} {preserve…: Heb. reserve the children of death}
Wherefore the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them the captains ofH8269 the host ofH6635 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, which tookH3920 ManassehH4519 among the thornsH2336, and bound himH631 with fettersH5178, and carriedH3212 him to BabylonH894. {of the king: Heb. which were the king's} {fetters: or, chains}
And when he was in afflictionH6887, he besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1,
And prayedH6419 unto him: and he was intreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and brought him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 he was GodH430.
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
Which executethH6213 judgmentH4941 for the oppressedH6231: which givethH5414 foodH3899 to the hungryH7457. The LORDH3068 loosethH5425 the prisonersH631:
And that the passagesH4569 are stoppedH8610, and the reedsH98 they have burnedH8313 with fireH784, and the menH582 of warH4421 are affrightedH926.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The daughterH1323 of BabylonH894 is like a threshingfloorH1637, it is timeH6256 to threshH1869 her: yet a little whileH4592, and the timeH6256 of her harvestH7105 shall comeH935. {it is…: or, in the time that he thresheth her}
NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398 me, he hath crushedH2000 me, he hath madeH3322 me an emptyH7385 vesselH3627, he hath swallowed me upH1104 like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390 his bellyH3770 with my delicatesH5730, he hath cast me outH1740.
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
And it came to pass in processH1992+H7227 of timeH3117, that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 diedH4191: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sighedH584 by reason ofH4480 the bondageH5656, and they criedH2199, and their cryH7775 came upH5927 unto GodH430 by reason of the bondageH5656.
And GodH430 heardH8085 their groaningH5009, and GodH430 rememberedH2142 his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, with IsaacH3327, and with JacobH3290.
And GodH430 lookedH7200 upon the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and GodH430 had respectH3045 unto them. {had…: Heb. knew}
AndG1161 whenG3753 HerodG2264 wouldG3195 have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254, the sameG1565 nightG3571 PeterG4074 wasG2258 sleepingG2837 betweenG3342 twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254: andG5037 the keepersG5441 beforeG4253 the doorG2374 keptG5083 the prisonG5438.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 him, andG2532 a lightG5457 shinedG2989 inG1722 the prisonG3612: andG1161 he smoteG3960 PeterG4074 on the sideG4125, and raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Arise upG450 quicklyG1722+G5034. AndG2532 hisG846 chainsG254 fell offG1601 fromG1537 his handsG5495.
AndG5037 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Gird thyselfG4024, andG2532 bind onG5265 thyG4675 sandalsG4547. AndG1161 soG3779 he didG4160. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, CastG4016 thy garmentG2440 aboutG4016 theeG4675, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.
AndG2532 he went outG1831, and followedG190 himG846; andG2532 wistG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG2076 trueG227 whichG3588 was doneG1096 byG1223 the angelG32; butG1161 thoughtG1380 he sawG991 a visionG3705.
WhenG1161 they were pastG1330 the firstG4413 andG2532 the secondG1208 wardG5438, they cameG2064 untoG1909 the ironG4603 gateG4439 that leadethG5342 untoG1519 the cityG4172; whichG3748 openedG455 to themG846 of his own accordG844: andG2532 they went outG1831, and passed on throughG4281 oneG3391 streetG4505; andG2532 forthwithG2112 the angelG32 departedG868 fromG575 himG846.
AndG2532 when PeterG4074 was comeG1096 toG1722 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, NowG3568 I knowG1492 of a suretyG230, thatG3754 the LordG2962 hath sentG1821 hisG846 angelG32, andG2532 hath deliveredG1807 meG3165 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of HerodG2264, andG2532 from allG3956 the expectationG4329 of the peopleG2992 of the JewsG2453.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have surelyH7200 seenH7200 the afflictionH6040 of my peopleH5971 which are in EgyptH4714, and have heardH8085 their cryH6818 by reasonH6440 of their taskmastersH5065; for I knowH3045 their sorrowsH4341;
And JehoahazH3059 besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 untoH6440 him: for he sawH7200 the oppressionH3906 of IsraelH3478, because the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 oppressedH3905 them.
But HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 oppressedH3905 IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of JehoahazH3059.
And the LORDH3068 was graciousH2603 unto them, and had compassionH7355 on them, and had respectH6437 unto them, because ofH4616 his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, and wouldH14 not destroyH7843 them, neither castH7993 he them from his presenceH6440 as yetH5704. {presence: Heb. face}
MenH4962 groanH5008 from out of the cityH5892, and the soulH5315 of the woundedH2491 crieth outH7768: yet GodH433 layethH7760 not follyH8604 to them.
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
The SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 GODH3069 is upon me; because the LORDH3068 hath anointedH4886 me to preach good tidingsH1319 unto the meekH6035; he hath sentH7971 me to bind upH2280 the brokenheartedH7665+H3820, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captivesH7617, and the opening of the prisonH6495 to them that are boundH631;
To proclaimH7121 the acceptableH7522 yearH8141 of the LORDH3068, and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our GodH430; to comfortH5162 all that mournH57;
To appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414 unto them beautyH6287 for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heavinessH3544; that they might be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that he might be glorifiedH6286.
NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398 me, he hath crushedH2000 me, he hath madeH3322 me an emptyH7385 vesselH3627, he hath swallowed me upH1104 like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390 his bellyH3770 with my delicatesH5730, he hath cast me outH1740.
The violenceH2555 done to me and to my fleshH7607 be upon BabylonH894, shall the inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726 sayH559; and my bloodH1818 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778, shall JerusalemH3389 sayH559. {The violence…: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: behold, thy KingH4428 comethH935 unto thee: he is justH6662, and having salvationH3467; lowlyH6041, and ridingH7392 upon an assH2543, and upon a coltH5895 the foalH1121 of an assH860. {having…: or, saving himself}
And I will cut offH3772 the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669, and the horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389, and the battleH4421 bowH7198 shall be cut offH3772: and he shall speakH1696 peaceH7965 unto the heathenH1471: and his dominionH4915 shall be from seaH3220 even to seaH3220, and from the riverH5104 even to the endsH657 of the earthH776.
As for thee also, by the bloodH1818 of thy covenantH1285 I have sent forthH7971 thy prisonersH615 out of the pitH953 wherein is no waterH4325. {by…: or, whose covenant is by blood}
TurnH7725 you to the strong holdH1225, ye prisonersH615 of hopeH8615: even to dayH3117 do I declareH5046 that I will renderH7725 doubleH4932 unto thee;
