- 0:03Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and two, a prayer of the afflicted
- 0:07Speaker 1: when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before
- 0:09Speaker 1: Yahweh hear my prayer. Yahweh, let my cry come to you.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Don't hide your face from me in the day of
- 0:17Speaker 1: my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly
- 0:21Speaker 1: in the day when I call for my days can
- 0:23Speaker 1: soom away like smoke. My bones are burned as a
- 0:27Speaker 1: fire brand. My heart is blighted like grass and withered,
- 0:31Speaker 1: for I forget to eat my bread by reason of
- 0:34Speaker 1: the voice of my groaning. My bones stick to my skin.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have
- 0:40Speaker 1: become as an owl of the waste places I watch,
- 0:43Speaker 1: and have become like a sparrow that is alone on
- 0:45Speaker 1: the housetop. My enemies reproach me all day. Those who
- 0:50Speaker 1: are mad at me use my name as a curse.
- 0:53Speaker 1: For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my
- 0:55Speaker 1: drink with tears because of your indignation and your wrath.
- 0:59Speaker 1: For you have taken me up and thrown me away.
- 1:02Speaker 1: My days are like a long shadow. I have withered
- 1:05Speaker 1: like grass. But you, Yahweh, will abide forever. Your renown
- 1:09Speaker 1: endures to all generations. You will arise and have mercy
- 1:13Speaker 1: on Zion, for it is time to have pity on her. Yes,
- 1:17Speaker 1: the set time has come for your servants. Take pleasure
- 1:20Speaker 1: in her stones and have pity on her dust. So
- 1:24Speaker 1: the nations will fear the name of Yahweh. All the
- 1:26Speaker 1: kings of the earth your glory. For Yahweh has built
- 1:30Speaker 1: up Zion. He has appeared in his glory. He has
- 1:33Speaker 1: responded to the prayer of the destitute and has not
- 1:36Speaker 1: despised their prayer. This will be written for the generation
- 1:40Speaker 1: to come. A people which will be created will praise Ya.
- 1:44Speaker 1: For he has looked down from the height of his
- 1:46Speaker 1: sanctuary from heaven. Yahweh saw the earth to hear the
- 1:50Speaker 1: groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned
- 1:53Speaker 1: to death, that men may declare the name of Yahweh
- 1:57Speaker 1: in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem, when the peoples
- 2:00Speaker 1: are gathered together the kingdoms to serve Yahweh. He weakened
- 2:05Speaker 1: my strength along the course he shortened my days. I said,
- 2:09Speaker 1: my God, don't take me away in the midst of
- 2:12Speaker 1: my days. Your years are throughout all generations of old
- 2:16Speaker 1: You laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are
- 2:19Speaker 1: the work of your hands. They will perish, but you
- 2:22Speaker 1: will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like
- 2:24Speaker 1: a garment. You will change them like a cloak. And
- 2:27Speaker 1: they will be changed, but you are the same. Your
- 2:31Speaker 1: years will have no end. The children of your servants
- 2:34Speaker 1: will continue. Their sea will be established before you.
