Psalm 102 (WEBP)

[1] 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.”

Psalm 102 (BYZ)

[1] [101:1] προσευχη τω πτωχω οταν ακηδιαση και εναντιον κυριου εκχεη την δεησιν αυτου [101:2] εισακουσον κυριε της προσευχης μου και η κραυγη μου προς σε ελθατω
[2] [101:3] μη αποστρεψης το προσωπον σου απ εμου εν η αν ημερα θλιβωμαι κλινον το ους σου προς με εν η αν ημερα επικαλεσωμαι σε ταχυ εισακουσον μου
[3] [101:4] οτι εξελιπον ωσει καπνος αι ημεραι μου και τα οστα μου ωσει φρυγιον συνεφρυγησαν
[4] [101:5] επληγη ωσει χορτος και εξηρανθη η καρδια μου οτι επελαθομην του φαγειν τον αρτον μου
[5] [101:6] απο φωνης του στεναγμου μου εκολληθη το οστουν μου τη σαρκι μου
[6] [101:7] ωμοιωθην πελεκανι ερημικω εγενηθην ωσει νυκτικοραξ εν οικοπεδω
[7] [101:8] ηγρυπνησα και εγενηθην ωσει στρουθιον μοναζον επι δωματι
[8] [101:9] ολην την ημεραν ωνειδιζον με οι εχθροι μου και οι επαινουντες με κατ εμου ωμνυον
[9] [101:10] οτι σποδον ωσει αρτον εφαγον και το πομα μου μετα κλαυθμου εκιρνων
[10] [101:11] απο προσωπου της οργης σου και του θυμου σου οτι επαρας κατερραξας με
[11] [101:12] αι ημεραι μου ωσει σκια εκλιθησαν και εγω ωσει χορτος εξηρανθην
[12] [101:13] συ δε κυριε εις τον αιωνα μενεις και το μνημοσυνον σου εις γενεαν και γενεαν
[13] [101:14] συ αναστας οικτιρησεις την σιων οτι καιρος του οικτιρησαι αυτην οτι ηκει καιρος
[14] [101:15] οτι ευδοκησαν οι δουλοι σου τους λιθους αυτης και τον χουν αυτης οικτιρησουσιν
[15] [101:16] και φοβηθησονται τα εθνη το ονομα κυριου και παντες οι βασιλεις της γης την δοξαν σου
[16] [101:17] οτι οικοδομησει κυριος την σιων και οφθησεται εν τη δοξη αυτου
[17] [101:18] επεβλεψεν επι την προσευχην των ταπεινων και ουκ εξουδενωσεν την δεησιν αυτων
[18] [101:19] γραφητω αυτη εις γενεαν ετεραν και λαος ο κτιζομενος αινεσει τον κυριον
[19] [101:20] οτι εξεκυψεν εξ υψους αγιου αυτου κυριος εξ ουρανου επι την γην επεβλεψεν
[20] [101:21] του ακουσαι τον στεναγμον των πεπεδημενων του λυσαι τους υιους των τεθανατωμενων
[21] [101:22] του αναγγειλαι εν σιων το ονομα κυριου και την αινεσιν αυτου εν ιερουσαλημ
[22] [101:23] εν τω συναχθηναι λαους επι το αυτο και βασιλειας του δουλευειν τω κυριω
[23] [101:24] απεκριθη αυτω εν οδω ισχυος αυτου την ολιγοτητα των ημερων μου αναγγειλον μοι
[24] [101:25] μη αναγαγης με εν ημισει ημερων μου εν γενεα γενεων τα ετη σου
[25] [101:26] κατ αρχας συ κυριε την γην εθεμελιωσας και εργα των χειρων σου εισιν οι ουρανοι
[26] [101:27] αυτοι απολουνται συ δε διαμενεις και παντες ως ιματιον παλαιωθησονται και ωσει περιβολαιον αλλαξεις αυτους και αλλαγησονται
[27] [101:28] συ δε ο αυτος ει και τα ετη σου ουκ εκλειψουσιν
[28] [101:29] οι υιοι των δουλων σου κατασκηνωσουσιν και το σπερμα αυτων εις τον αιωνα κατευθυνθησεται
