📖 Psalms 102
-
1
Heare my prayer (o LORDE) and let my criege come vnto the.
-
2
Hyde not thy face fro me in the tyme of my trouble: enclyne thine eares vnto me when I call, O heare me, and that right soone.
-
3
For my dayes are consumed awaye like smoke, & my bones are brent vp as it were a fyre brande.
-
4
My hert is smytte downe and wythered like grasse, so that I forget to eate my bred.
-
5
For the voyce of my gronynge, my bone wil scarse cleue to my flesh.
-
6
I am become like a Pellicane in the wildernes, and like an Oule in a broken wall.
-
7
I wake, and am euen as it were a sparow sittinge alone vpon the house toppe.
-
8
Myne enemies reuyle me all the daye longe, they laugh me to scorne, and are sworne together against me.
-
9
I eate ashes with my bred, and mengle my drynke with wepynge.
-
10
And that because of ye indignacion and wrath, for thou hast taken me vp, and cast me awaye.
-
11
My dayes are gone like a shadowe, and I am wythered like grasse.
-
12
But thou (o LORDE) endurest for euer, and thy remembraunce thorow out all generacions.
-
13
Arise therfore and haue mercy vpon Sion, for it is tyme to haue mercy vpon her, yee the tyme is come.
-
14
And why? thy seruauntes haue a loue to hir stones, & it pitieth them to se her in the dust.
-
15
The Heithen shal feare thy name (o LORDE) and all the kynges of the earth thy maiesty.
-
16
For the LORDE shal buylde vp Sion, and shal apeare in his glory.
-
17
He turneth him vnto the prayer of the poore destitute, and despyseth not their desyre.
-
18
This shalbe written for those yt come after, that the people which shalbe borne, maye prayse the LORDE.
-
19
For He loketh downe from his Sanctuary, out of the heauen doth the LORDE beholde the earth.
-
20
That he maye heare the mournynges of soch as be in captiuyte, and delyuer the children of death.
-
21
That they maie preach the name of the LORDE in Sion, and his worshipe at Ierusalem.
-
22
When the people are gathered together, and the kyngdomes also to serue ye LORDE.
-
23
He hath brought downe my strength in my iourney, and shortened my dayes.
-
24
Yet wil I saye: O my God, take me not awaye in ye myddest of myne age: as for thy yeares, they endure thorow out all generacions.
-
25
Thou LORDE in the begynnynge hast layed ye foundacion of the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thy hondes.
-
26
They shal perishe, but thou shalt endure: they all shall wexe olde as doth a garment,
-
27
& as a vesture shalt thou chaunge the, and they shalbe chaunged. But thou art the same, and thy yeares shal not fayle.
-
28
The children of thy seruauntes shall contynue, & their sede shal prospere in yi sight.
