KJV

A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

KJV

Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me speedily.

KJV

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

KJV

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

KJV

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

KJV

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

KJV

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

KJV

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

KJV

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

KJV

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

KJV

My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

KJV

But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

KJV

Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

KJV

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

KJV

So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

KJV

When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

KJV

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

KJV

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

KJV

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

KJV

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

KJV

To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

KJV

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

KJV

He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

KJV

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.

KJV

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.

KJV

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

KJV

But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.

KJV

The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
