Psa 102:2 Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress; Incline Your ear to me; In the day when I call answer me quickly.

Psa 102:3 For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have been scorched like a hearth.

Psa 102:4 My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away, Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.

Psa 102:5 Because of the loudness of my groaning My bones cling to my flesh.

Psa 102:6 I resemble a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the waste places.

Psa 102:7 I lie awake, I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.

Psa 102:8 My enemies have reproached me all day long; Those who deride me have used my name as a curse.

Psa 102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread And mingled my drink with weeping

Psa 102:10 Because of Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up and cast me away.

Psa 102:11 My days are like a lengthened shadow, And I wither away like grass.

Psa 102:12 But You, O Lord, abide forever, And Your name to all generations.

Psa 102:13 You will arise and have compassion on Zion; For it is time to be gracious to her, For the appointed time has come.

Psa 102:14 Surely Your servants find pleasure in her stones And feel pity for her dust.

Psa 102:15 So the nations will fear the name of the Lord And all the kings of the earth Your glory.

Psa 102:16 For the Lord has built up Zion; He has appeared in His glory.

Psa 102:17 He has regarded the prayer of the destitute And has not despised their prayer.

Psa 102:18 This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.

Psa 102:19 For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven the Lord gazed upon the earth,

Psa 102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free those who were doomed to death,

Psa 102:21 That men may tell of the name of the Lord in Zion And His praise in Jerusalem,

Psa 102:22 When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

Psa 102:23 He has weakened my strength in the way; He has shortened my days.

Psa 102:24 I say, "O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Your years are throughout all generations.

Psa 102:25 "Of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Psa 102:26 "Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.

Psa 102:27 "But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.

Psa 102:28 "The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You."

Psa 103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Psa 103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits;

Psa 103:3 Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;

Psa 103:4 Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;

Psa 103:5 Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

Psa 103:6 The Lord performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed.

Psa 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.

Psa 103:8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

Psa 103:9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.

Psa 103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

Psa 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.

Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Psa 103:13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

Psa 103:14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.

Psa 103:15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Psa 103:16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.

Psa 103:17 But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children,

Psa 103:18 To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them.

Psa 103:19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all.

Psa 103:20 Bless the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word!

Psa 103:21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will.

Psa 103:22 Bless the Lord, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Psa 104:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

Psa 104:2 Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak, Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.

Psa 104:3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind;

Psa 104:4 He makes the winds His messengers, Flaming fire His ministers.

Psa 104:5 He established the earth upon its foundations, So that it will not totter forever and ever.

Psa 104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters were standing above the mountains.

Psa 104:7 At Your rebuke they fled, At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.

Psa 104:8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which You established for them.

Psa 104:9 You set a boundary that they may not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

Psa 104:10 He sends forth springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains;

Psa 104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

Psa 104:12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; They lift up their voices among the branches.

Psa 104:13 He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

Psa 104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the labor of man, So that he may bring forth food from the earth,

Psa 104:15 And wine which makes man's heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man's heart.

Psa 104:16 The trees of the Lord drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,

Psa 104:17 Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is the fir trees.

Psa 104:18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim.

Psa 104:19 He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting.

Psa 104:20 You appoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about.

Psa 104:21 The young lions roar after their prey And seek their food from God.

Psa 104:22 When the sun rises they withdraw And lie down in their dens.

Psa 104:23 Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until evening.

Psa 104:24 O Lord, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your possessions.

Psa 104:25 There is the sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great.

Psa 104:26 There the ships move along, And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.

Psa 104:27 They all wait for You To give them their food in due season.

Psa 104:28 You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

Psa 104:29 You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their spirit, they expire And return to their dust.

Psa 104:30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the ground.

Psa 104:31 Let the glory of the Lord endure forever; Let the Lord be glad in His works;

Psa 104:32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

Psa 104:33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

Psa 104:34 Let my meditation be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in the Lord.

Psa 104:35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth And let the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Praise the Lord!
