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.

For in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that in them is, and restedH5117 the seventhH7637 dayH3117: wherefore the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowedH6942 it.
WhereH375 wast thou when I laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776? declareH5046, if thou hastH3045 understandingH998. {hast…: Heb. knowest understanding}
Who hath laidH7760 the measuresH4461 thereof, if thou knowestH3045? or who hath stretchedH5186 the lineH6957 upon it?
Whereupon are the foundationsH134 thereof fastenedH2883? or who laidH3384 the cornerH6438 stoneH68 thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made to sink?}
When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162, and all the sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joy?
I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.
Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:
While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fieldsH2351, nor the highest partH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398. {fields: or, open places} {the highest…: or, the chief part}
When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415: {a compass: or, a circle}
When he establishedH553 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605: when he strengthenedH5810 the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415:
When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117+H3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;
RejoicingH7832 in the habitable partH8398 of his earthH776; and my delightsH8191 were with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
Now therefore hearkenH8085 unto me, O ye childrenH1121: for blessedH835 are they that keepH8104 my waysH1870.
HearH8085 instructionH4148, and be wiseH2449, and refuseH6544 it not.
BlessedH835 is the manH120 that hearethH8085 me, watchingH8245 dailyH3117+H3117 at my gatesH1817, waitingH8104 at the postsH4201 of my doorsH6607.
For whoso findethH4672 me findethH4672+H4672 lifeH2416, and shall obtainH6329 favourH7522 of the LORDH3068. {obtain: Heb. bring forth}
But he that sinnethH2398 against me wrongethH2554 his own soulH5315: all they that hateH8130 me loveH157 deathH4194.
AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, thou hast madeH6213 the heavenH8064 and the earthH776 by thy greatH1419 powerH3581 and stretched outH5186 armH2220, and there is nothingH1697 too hardH6381 for thee: {too…: or, hid from thee}
AndG2532, ThouG4771, LordG2962, inG2596 the beginningG746 hast laid the foundationG2311 of the earthG1093; andG2532 the heavensG3772 areG1526 the worksG2041 of thineG4675 handsG5495:
TheyG846 shall perishG622; butG1161 thouG4771 remainestG1265; andG2532 they allG3956 shall wax oldG3822 asG5613 doth a garmentG2440;
AndG2532 asG5616 a vestureG4018 shalt thou foldG1667 themG846 upG1667, andG2532 they shall be changedG236: butG1161 thouG4771 artG1488 the sameG846, andG2532 thyG4675 yearsG2094 shallG1587 notG3756 failG1587.
