crying |

of my call; O

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

4 My heart is smitten down, and withered like grass : so that I forget to | eat my | bread.

5 For the voice of my groan | ing my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh.

6 I am become like a pelican in the wilder | ness 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 together against | me. 9 For I have eaten ashes as it were bread and mingled my drink with | weep | ing;

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

II 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 gene | ra | tions.

13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon | Si | on 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 | Si | on and when his glory | shall ap | pear;

17 When he turneth him unto the prayer of the poor | destitute and despiseth not | their desire.

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 | sanctua | ry : out of the heaven did the Lord be hold the earth;

20 That he might hear the mournings of such as are in cap | tivi | ty : and deliver the children appointed | unto death;

on

21 That they may declare the Name of the Lord in | Si | and his worship | at Je | rusa | lem ;

22 When the people are gathered together 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 | gene | ra | tions.

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 en | dure : they all shall wax old as | doth a | gar | ment;

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.

28 The children of thy servants | shall continue : and their seed shall | stand fast | in thy | sight.
