3 Turn not away thy face from me: in what day soever I am in tribulation, incline thine ear to me. In what day soever I shall invocate thee, hear me speedily.📜💬📚

4 Because my days have vanished as smoke: and my bones are withered as a dry burnt firebrand.📜💬📚

5 I am strucken as grass, and my heart is withered: because I have forgotten to eat my bread.📜💬📚

6 For the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.📜💬📚

7 I am become like a pelican of the wilderness: I am become as a night crow in the house.📜💬📚

8 I have watched, and am become as a sparrow solitary in the house-top.📜💬📚

9 All the day did mine enemies upbraid me: and they that praised me sware against me.📜💬📚

10 Because I did eat ashes as bread, & mingled my drink with weeping.📜💬📚

11 At the face of thy wrath and indignation: because lifting me up thou hast thrown me down.📜💬📚

12 My days have declined as a shadow: and I am withered as grass.📜💬📚

13 But thou o Lord endurest for ever: and thy memorial in generation and generation.📜💬📚

14 Thou rising up shalt have mercy on Sion: because it is time to have mercy on it, because the time cometh.📜💬📚

15 Because the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.📜💬📚

16 And the Gentiles shall fear thy name o Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.📜💬📚

17 Because our Lord hath built Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.📜💬📚

18 He hath had respect to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.📜💬📚

19 Let these things be written unto an other generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise our Lord.📜💬📚

20 Because he hath looked forth from his high holy place: our Lord from heaven hath looked upon the earth.📜💬📚

21 That he might hear the groanings of the fettered: that he might loose the children of them that are slain:📜💬📚

22 That they may shew forth the name of our Lord in Sion: and his praise Jerusalem.📜💬📚

23 In the assembling of the people together in one, and kings to serve our Lord.📜💬📚

24 He answered him in the way of his strength: Shew me the fewness of my days.📜💬📚

25 Call me not back in the half of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation.📜💬📚

26 In the beginning, o Lord, thou didst found the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands.📜💬📚

27 They shall perish, but thou are permanent: and they shall all wax old as a garment. And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed:📜💬📚

28 but thou art the self-same, and thy years shall not fail.📜💬📚

29 The children of thy servants shall inhabit: and their seed shall be directed for ever.📜💬📚
