A prayer of the poor when disabled
before the face of יְהוָה he pours out his talk
יְהוָה hear my prayer and let my cry for help come to you
Do not hide your face from me in the day of my trouble
incline to me your ear in the day I call
speedily answer me
Do not hide your face from me in the day of my trouble
incline to me your ear in the day I call
speedily answer me
for my days are full of smoke
and my bones as a burning mass are scorched
smitten like withered grass is my heart
and my bones as a burning mass are scorched
smitten like withered grass is my heart
for I forget to eat my bread
from the chatter of my groaning
my bones cling to my flesh
from the chatter of my groaning
my bones cling to my flesh
I am like an unclean bird of the wilderness
I have become like an owl of the desert
I watch
and I am as a bird isolated on a roof
I have become like an owl of the desert
I watch
and I am as a bird isolated on a roof
All the day my enemies reproach me
seeing me as fool
having cursed me
seeing me as fool
having cursed me
for I eat ashes for bread
and I mingle my weeping with my drink
from the face of your indignation and your anger
and I mingle my weeping with my drink
from the face of your indignation and your anger
for you have lifted me up and cast me down
my days extend like a shadow
and I am like withered grass
my days extend like a shadow
and I am like withered grass
but you יְהוָה to the age will remain
and your remembrance from generation to generation
You will arise and will have mercy on Zion
for the time to favour her
the appointed time has come
for your servants take pleasure in her stones
and her dust they favour
and your remembrance from generation to generation
You will arise and will have mercy on Zion
for the time to favour her
the appointed time has come
for your servants take pleasure in her stones
and her dust they favour
The nations will fear the name of יְהוָה
and all the kings of the earth your glory
for יְהוָה will build up Zion
and will appear in his glory
he will face the prayer of the destitute
and he will not despise their prayer
and all the kings of the earth your glory
for יְהוָה will build up Zion
and will appear in his glory
he will face the prayer of the destitute
and he will not despise their prayer
This will be written for a generation to come
and a people to be created will praise Yah
for יְהוָה looked from his holiness above
from the heavens to earth he pays attention
to hear the groaning of of the prisoner
to free the children of death
to recount in Zion the name of יְהוָה and his praise in Jerusalem
to gather peoples together and kingdoms to serve יְהוָה
and a people to be created will praise Yah
for יְהוָה looked from his holiness above
from the heavens to earth he pays attention
to hear the groaning of of the prisoner
to free the children of death
to recount in Zion the name of יְהוָה and his praise in Jerusalem
to gather peoples together and kingdoms to serve יְהוָה
He has humbled my power in the way
he has shortened my days
I said
my God, do not remove me in the midst of my days
your years are in all generations
in the face of the earth you established
and the work of your hands, the heavens
These will perish but you - you will stand
and they all like clothing will decay
as a garment you will change them and they will be changed
but you are the same - and your years will not end
The children of your servants will live
and their seed before your face will be established
he has shortened my days
I said
my God, do not remove me in the midst of my days
your years are in all generations
in the face of the earth you established
and the work of your hands, the heavens
These will perish but you - you will stand
and they all like clothing will decay
as a garment you will change them and they will be changed
but you are the same - and your years will not end
The children of your servants will live
and their seed before your face will be established
