NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Psalms 102

A Prayer of the Afflicted when he is faint and  apours out his complaint before the LORD.

1

 aHearh8085 my prayerh8605, O LORDh3068! And let my cryh7775 for helph7775  bcomeh935 to You.

2

 aDo not hideh5641 Your faceh6440 from me in the dayh3117 of my distressh6862b;  bInclineh5186 Your earh241 to me; In the dayh3117 when I callh7121  aanswerh6030a me quicklyh4118b.

3

For my daysh3117  ahave beenh3615  1consumedh3615 in smokeh6227, And my  bbonesh6106 have been scorchedh2787 like a hearthh4168.

4

My hearth3820  ahas been smittenh5221 like  1grassh6212a and has  bwitheredh3001 away, Indeedh3588, I  cforgeth7911 to eath398 my breadh3899.

5

Becauseh4480 of the  1loudnessh6963 of my groaningh585 My  abonesh6106  2clingh1692 to my fleshh1320.

6

I  1resembleh1819 a  apelicanh6893 of the wildernessh4057b; I have becomeh1961 like an owlh3563b of the wasteh2723 placesh2723.

7

I  alieh8245 awakeh8245, I have becomeh1961 like a lonelyh909 birdh6833 on a housetoph1406.

8

My enemiesh340  ahave reproachedh2778a me allh3605 dayh3117 long; Those who  1 bderideh1984b me  2have usedh7650 my name as a  ccurseh7650.

9

For I have eatenh398 ashesh665 like breadh3899 And  amingledh4537 my drinkh8250 with weepingh1065

10

 aBecauseh4480h6440 of Your indignationh2195 and Your wrathh7110a, For You have  bliftedh5375 me up and casth7993 me awayh7993.

11

My daysh3117 are like a  1 alengthenedh5186 shadowh6738, And  2I  bwitherh3001 away like  3grassh6212a.

12

But You, O LORDh3068,  1 aabideh3427 foreverh5769, And Your  2 bnameh2143 to allh1755 generationsh1755.

13

You will  aariseh6965 and haveh7355  bcompassionh7355 on Zionh6726; For  cit is timeh6256 to be gracioush2603a to her, For the  dappointedh4150 timeh4150 has comeh935.

14

Surelyh3588 Your servantsh5650  1findh7521 pleasureh7521 in her stonesh68 And feelh2603a pityh2603a for her dusth6083.

15

 1So the  2 anationsh1471 will fearh3372a the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 And  ballh3605 the kingsh4428 of the earthh776 Your gloryh3519b.

16

For the LORDh3068 has  abuilth1129 up Zionh6726; He has  bappearedh7200 in His gloryh3519b.

17

He has  aregardedh6437 the prayerh8605 of the  1destituteh6199 And has not despisedh959 their prayerh8605.

18

 1Thish384 will be  awrittenh3789 for the  bgenerationh1755 to comeh314,  2That  ca peopleh5971a yet to be createdh1254a  3may praiseh1984b  4the LORDh3050.

19

For He  alookedh8259 downh8259 from His holyh6944 heighth4791;  bFrom heavenh8064 the LORDh3068 gazedh5027  1upon the earthh776,

20

To hearh8085 the  agroaningh603 of the prisonerh615, To  bseth6605a freeh6605a  1thoseh1121 whoh1121 were doomedh1121 to deathh8546,

21

That men may  atellh5608 of the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 in Zionh6726 And His praiseh8416 in Jerusalemh3389,

22

When  athe peoplesh5971a are gatheredh6908 togetherh3164a, And the kingdomsh4467, to serveh5647 the LORDh3068.

23

He has weakenedh6031a my strengthh3581b in the wayh1870; He has  ashortenedh7114a my daysh3117.

24

I sayh559, "O my Godh410,  ado not takeh5927 me awayh5927 in the  1midsth2677 of my daysh3117, Your  byearsh8141 are throughout allh1755 generationsh1755.

25

"Of oldh6440 You  afoundedh3245 the earthh776, And the  bheavensh8064 are the workh4639 of Your handsh3027.

26

1Even they will  aperishh6, but You endureh5975; And allh3605 of them will wearh1086 out like a garmenth899b; Like clothingh3830 You will changeh2498 them and they will be changedh2498.

27

"But You are  1 athe sameh1931, And Your yearsh8141 will not comeh8552 to an endh8552.

28

"The  achildrenh1121 of Your servantsh5650 will continueh7931, And their  1 bdescendantsh2233 will be establishedh3559 beforeh6440 You."
