A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before Yahweh.

Hear my prayer, Yahweh!
Let my cry come to you.
[2] Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress.
Turn your ear to me.
Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
[3] For my days consume away like smoke.
My bones are burned as a torch.
[4] My heart is blighted like grass, and withered,
for I forget to eat my bread.
[5] By reason of the voice of my groaning,
my bones stick to my skin.
[6] I am like a pelican of the wilderness.
I have become as an owl of the waste places.
[7] I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
[8] My enemies reproach me all day.
Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
[9] For I have eaten ashes like bread,
and mixed my drink with tears,
[10] because of your indignation and your wrath;
for you have taken me up and thrown me away.
[11] My days are like a long shadow.
I have withered like grass.
[12] But you, Yahweh, will remain forever;
your renown endures to all generations.
[13] You will arise and have mercy on Zion,
for it is time to have pity on her.
Yes, the set time has come.
[14] For your servants take pleasure in her stones,
and have pity on her dust.
[15] So the nations will fear Yahweh’s name,
all the kings of the earth your glory.
[16] For Yahweh has built up Zion.
He has appeared in his glory.
[17] He has responded to the prayer of the destitute,
and has not despised their prayer.
[18] This will be written for the generation to come.
A people which will be created will praise Yah,
[19] for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary.
From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth,
[20] to hear the groans of the prisoner,
to free those who are condemned to death,
[21] that men may declare Yahweh’s name in Zion,
and his praise in Jerusalem,
[22] when the peoples are gathered together,
the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.
[23] He weakened my strength along the course.
He shortened my days.
[24] I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days.
Your years are throughout all generations.
[25] Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth.
The heavens are the work of your hands.
[26] They will perish, but you will endure.
Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
[27] But you are the same.
Your years will have no end.
[28] The children of your servants will continue.
Their offspring will be established before you.”

HearH8085(QalImpv) my prayer,H8605 O Lord,H3068 and let my cryH7775 comeH935(QalImpf) unto thee.
[2] HideH5641(HiphImpf) not thy faceH6440 from me in the dayH3117 [when] I am in trouble;H6862 inclineH5186(HiphImpv) thine earH241 unto me: in the dayH3117 [when] I callH7121(QalImpf) answerH6030(QalImpv) me speedily.H4118 [3] For my daysH3117 are consumedH3615(QalPerf) like smoke,H6227 and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787(NiphPerf) as an hearth.H4168 [4] My heartH3820 is smitten,H5221(HophPerf) and witheredH3001(QalImpf) like grass;H6212 so that I forgetH7911(QalPerf) to eatH398(QalInf) my bread.H3899 [5] By reason of the voiceH6963 of my groaningH585 my bonesH6106 cleaveH1692(QalPerf) to my skin.H1320 [6] I am likeH1819(QalPerf) a pelicanH6893 of the wilderness:H4057 I am like an owlH3563 of the desert.H2723 [7] I watch,H8245(QalPerf) and am as a sparrowH6833 aloneH909(QalActPtc) upon the house top.H1406 [8] Mine enemiesH341(QalActPtc) reproachH2778(PielPerf) me all the day;H3117 [and] they that are madH1984(PoelPtc) against me are swornH7650(NiphPerf) against me. [9] For I have eatenH398(QalPerf) ashesH665 like bread,H3899 and mingledH4537(QalPerf) my drinkH8249 with weeping,H1065 [10] BecauseH6440 of thine indignationH2195 and thy wrath:H7110 for thou hast lifted me up,H5375(QalPerf) and cast me down.H7993(HiphImpf) [11] My daysH3117 [are] like a shadowH6738 that declineth;H5186(QalPasPtc) and I am witheredH3001(QalImpf) like grass.H6212 [12] But thou, O Lord,H3068 shalt endureH3427(QalImpf) for ever;H5769 and thy remembranceH2143 unto allH1755 generations.H1755 [13] Thou shalt arise,H6965(QalImpf) [and] have mercyH7355(PielImpf) upon Zion:H6726 for the timeH6256 to favourH2603(QalInf) her, yea, the set time,H4150 is come.H935(QalPerf) [14] For thy servantsH5650 take pleasureH7521(QalPerf) in her stones,H68 and favourH2603(PoelImpf) the dustH6083 thereof. [15] So the heathenH1471 shall fearH3372(QalImpf) the nameH8034 of the Lord,H3068 and all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 thy glory.H3519 [16] When the LordH3068 shall build upH1129(QalPerf) Zion,H6726 he shall appearH7200(NiphPerf) in his glory.H3519 [17] He will regardH6437(QalPerf) the prayerH8605 of the destitute,H6199 and not despiseH959(QalPerf) their prayer.H8605 [18] This shall be writtenH3789(NiphImpf) for the generationH1755 to come:H314 and the peopleH5971 which shall be createdH1254(NiphPtc) shall praiseH1984(PielImpf) the Lord.H3050 [19] For he hath looked downH8259(HiphPerf) from the heightH4791 of his sanctuary;H6944 from heavenH8064 did the LordH3068 beholdH5027(HiphPerf) the earth;H776 [20] To hearH8085(QalInf) the groaningH603 of the prisoner;H615 to looseH6605(PielInf) those that are appointedH1121 to death;H8546 [21] To declareH5608(PielInf) the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 in Zion,H6726 and his praiseH8416 in Jerusalem;H3389 [22] When the peopleH5971 are gatheredH6908(NiphInf) together,H3162 and the kingdoms,H4467 to serveH5647(QalInf) the Lord.H3068 [23] He weakenedH6031(PielPerf) my strengthH3581 in the way;H1870 he shortenedH7114(PielPerf) my days.H3117 [24] I said,H559(QalImpf) O my God,H410 take me not awayH5927(HiphImpf) in the midstH2677 of my days:H3117 thy yearsH8141 [are] throughout allH1755 generations.H1755 [25] Of oldH6440 hast thou laid the foundationH3245(QalPerf) of the earth:H776 and the heavensH8064 [are] the workH4639 of thy hands.H3027 [26] They shall perish,H6(QalImpf) but thou shalt endure:H5975(QalImpf) yea, all of them shall wax oldH1086(QalImpf) like a garment;H899 as a vestureH3830 shalt thou changeH2498(HiphImpf) them, and they shall be changed:H2498(QalImpf) [27] But thou [art] the same, and thy yearsH8141 shall have no end.H8552(NiphImpf) [28] The childrenH1121 of thy servantsH5650 shall continue,H7931(QalImpf) and their seedH2233 shall be establishedH3559(NiphImpf) beforeH6440 thee.
