2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me and that right | soon.

3 For my days are consumed a | way · like | smoke: and my bones are burnt | up as it | were a fire-brand.

My heart is smitten down and | withered · like grass: so that I forget to eat my bread. 5 For the voice of my groaning: my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh.

6 I am become like a pelican | in · the | wilderness and like an owl that is in the | desert. 7 I have watched, and am even as it were • a sparrow: that sitteth alone up on the house top.

8 Mine enemies revile me | all the day | long: and they that are mad upon me are | sworn to | gether against me.

9 For I have eaten ashes | as it were | bread: and mingled my | drink · with | weeping;

10 And that because of thine indig | nation · and | wrath: for thou hast taken me | up,· and | cast · me down.

11 My days are gone like a shadow: and I am withered like grass.

12 But thou, O Lord, shalt en | dure · for | ever : and thy remembrance throughout all | gen. er |

ations.

13 Thou shalt arise, and have | mercy up on | Sion: for it is time that thou have mercy upon her, yea, the time is | come.

14 And why? thy servants think up on her stones: and it pitieth them to see her in the dust.

15 The heathen shall fear thy | Name, O Lord: and all the kings of the earth thy | Majesty. 16 When the Lord shall build up | Sion: and when his glory | shall appear.

17 When he turneth him unto the prayer of the poor | destitute: and despiseth · not | their de sire.

18 This shall be written for those that come after and the people which shall be born shall praise the Lord.

19 For he hath looked down from his sanctuary: out of the heaven did the | Lord behold. the earth;

20 That he might hear the mournings of such as are in captivity: and deliver the children ap pointed unto death;

21 That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Sion: and his wor · ship at Je

rusalem;

22 When the people are | gathered · to | gether: and the kingdoms | also, to serve the | Lord. 23 He brought down my strength in my | journey and shortened my days.

24 But I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of mine age: as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations.

25 Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy | hands.

26 They shall perish, but | thou shalt endure: they all shall wax | old as doth · a | garment; 27 And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years | shall not | fail.

10 He hath not dealt with us | after · our | sins: nor rewarded us ac | cor ding | to our | wicked

.

11 For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth: so great is his mercy also to · ward them that fear him.

12 Look how wide also the east is from the | west: so far hath he set our | sins · from | us. 13 Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children: even so is the Lord merciful un·to | them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth where | of we are made: he remembereth | that we are. but dust.

15 The days of man are but as grass: for he flourisheth as a flower of the field. 1.

16 For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone: and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear him and his righteousness up children;

20 O praise the Lord, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength: ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his | words.

21 O praise the Lord, all ye his | hosts: ye servants of his that | do his | pleasure.

22 O speak good of the Lord, all ye works of his, in all places of his. do | minion: praise thou the Lord, O my soul.
