engLXXup: Psalms 101

=> Chapters

 [1] A Prayer for the Poor; when he is deeply afflicted, and pours out his supplication before the Lord.

[2] Hear my prayer, O Lord,

And let my cry come to thee.

[3] Turn not away thy face from me:

In the day when I am afflicted, incline thine ear to me:

In the day when I shall call upon thee, speedily hear me.

[4] For my days have vanished like smoke,

And my bones have been parched like a stick.

[5] I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up;

For I have forgotten to eat my bread.

[6] By reason of the voice of my groaning,

My bone has cloven to my flesh.

[7] I have become like a pelican of the wilderness;

[8] I have become like an owl in a ruined house.

I have watched, and am become

As a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.

[9] All the day long mine enemies have reproached me;

And they that praised me have sworn against me.

[10] For I have eaten ashes as it were bread,

And mingled my drink with weeping;

[11] Because of thine anger and thy wrath:

For thou hast lifted me up, and dashed me down.

[12] My days have declined like a shadow;

And I am withered like grass.

[13] But thou, Lord, endurest forever,

And thy memorial to generation and generation.

[14] Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion:

For it is time to have mercy upon her, for the set time is come.

[15] For thy servants have taken pleasure in her stones,

And they shall pity her dust.

[16] So the nations shall fear thy name, O Lord,

And all kings thy glory.

[17] For the Lord shall build up Zion,

And shall appear in his glory.

[18] He has had regard to the prayer of the lowly,

And has not despised their petition.

[19] Let this be written for another generation;

And the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord.

[20] For he has looked out from the height of his sanctuary;

The Lord looked upon the earth from heaven;

[21] To hear the groaning of the fettered ones,

To loosen the sons of the slain;

[22] To proclaim the name of the Lord in Zion,

And his praise in Jerusalem;

[23] When the people are gathered together,

And the kings, to serve the Lord.

[24] He answered him in the way of his strength:

Tell me the fewness of my days.

[25] Take me not away in the midst of my days:

Thy years are through all generations.

[26] In the beginning thou, O Lord, didst lay the foundation of the earth;

And the heavens are the works of thy hands.

[27] They shall perish, but thou remainest:

And they all shall wax old as a garment;

And as a vesture shalt thou fold them, and they shall be changed.

[28] But thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

[29] The children of thy servants shall dwell securely,

And their seed shall prosper forever.
