They refuse to do what I tell them.’H705H8141H6962H1755H559H5971H8582H3824H3045H1870 11So in my anger I took an oath. ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”H7650H639H935H4496

Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you.H5641H6440H3117H6862H5186H241H3117H7121H6030H4118 3For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals.H3117H3615H6227H6106H2787H4168 4My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite.H3820H5221H3001H6212H7911H398H3899 5Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones.H6963H585H6106H1692H1320 6I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness.H1819H6893H4057H3563H2723 7I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof.H8245H6833H909H1406 8My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me.H341H2778H3117H1984H7650 9I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drinkH398H665H3899H4537H8249H1065 10because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out.H6440H2195H7110H5375H7993 11My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass.H3117H6738H5186H3001H6212 12But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation.H3068H3427H5769H2143H1755H1755 13You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem—and now is the time to pity her, now is the time you promised to help.H6965H7355H6726H6256H2603H4150H935 14For your people love every stone in her walls and cherish even the dust in her streets.H5650H7521H68H2603H6083 15Then the nations will tremble before the Lord. The kings of the earth will tremble before his glory.H1471H3372H8034H3068H4428H776H3519 16For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem. He will appear in his glory.H3068H1129H6726H7200H3519 17He will listen to the prayers of the destitute. He will not reject their pleas.H6437H8605H6199H959H8605 18Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a people not yet born will praise the Lord.H3789H1755H314H5971H1254H1984H3050 19Tell them the Lord looked down from his heavenly sanctuary. He looked down to earth from heavenH8259H4791H6944H8064H3068H5027H776 20to hear the groans of the prisoners, to release those condemned to die.H8085H603H615H6605H1121H8546 21And so the Lord’s fame will be celebrated in Zion, his praises in Jerusalem,H5608H8034H3068H6726H8416H3389 22when multitudes gather together and kingdoms come to worship the Lord.H5971H6908H3162H4467H5647H3068 23He broke my strength in midlife, cutting short my days.H6031H3581H1870H7114H3117 24But I cried to him, “O my God, who lives forever, don’t take my life while I am so young!H559H410H5927H2677H3117H8141H1755H1755 25Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.H6440H3245H776H8064H4639H3027 26They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing. You will change them like a garment and discard them.H6H5975H1086H899H3830H2498H2498 27But you are always the same; you will live forever.H8141H8552 28The children of your people will live in security. Their children’s children will thrive in your presence.”H1121H5650H7931H2233H3559H6440
