A prayer for one in affliction: the fifth penitential psalm.
101:1. The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out
his supplication before the Lord.
101:2. Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
101:3. Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble,
incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear
me speedily.
101:4. For my days are vanished like smoke, and my bones are grown dry
like fuel for the fire.
101:5. I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot
to eat my bread.
101:6. Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my
flesh.
101:7. I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a
night raven in the house.
A pelican, etc... I am become through grief, like birds that affect
solitude and darkness.
101:8. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the
housetop.
101:9. All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised
me did swear against me.
101:10. For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with
weeping.
101:11. Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up
thou hast thrown me down.
101:12. My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like
grass.
101:13. But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all
generations.
101:14. Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have
mercy on it, for the time is come.
101:15. For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall
have pity on the earth thereof.
101:16. All the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings
of the earth thy glory.
101:17. For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his
glory.
101:18. He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not
despised their petition.
101:19. Let these things be written unto another generation: and the
people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
101:20. Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from
heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
101:21. That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that
he might release the children of the slain:
101:22. That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his
praise in Jerusalem;
101:23. When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
101:24. He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the
fewness of my days.
He answered him in the way of his strength... That is, the people,
mentioned in the foregoing verse, or the penitent, in whose person this
psalm is delivered, answered the Lord in the way of his strength: that
is, according to the best of his power and strength: or when he was in
the flower of his age and strength: inquiring after the fewness of his
days: to know if he should live long enough to see the happy restoration
of Sion, etc.
