A PRAYER OF THE AFFLICTED WHEN HE IS FEEBLE, AND POURS OUT HIS COMPLAINT BEFORE YHWH. O YHWH, hear my prayer, indeed, my cry comes to You. Psa 143:1Do not hide Your face from me, || In a day of my adversity, || Incline Your ear to me, || In the day I call, hurry, answer me. Psa 13:1; Psa 44:24For my days have been consumed in smoke, || And my bones have burned as a firebrand. Pro 17:22Struck as the herb, and withered, is my heart, || For I have forgotten to eat my bread. Psa 109:22From the voice of my sighing || My bone has cleaved to my flesh. I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, || I have been as an owl of the dry places. Deu 14:17I have watched, and I am || As a bird alone on the roof. All the day my enemies reproached me, || Those mad at me have sworn against me. Because I have eaten ashes as bread, || And have mingled my drink with weeping, Job 3:24From Your indignation and Your wrath, || For You have lifted me up, || And cast me down. My days [are] stretched out as a shadow, || And I am withered as the herb. Job 8:9; Job 14:1And You, O YHWH, abide for all time, || And Your memorial from generation to generation. You rise—You pity Zion, || For the time to favor her, || For the appointed time has come. Psa 51:18; Jer 29:10For Your servants have been pleased with her stones, || And they favor her dust. And nations fear the Name of YHWH, || And all kings of the earth Your glory, For YHWH has built Zion, || He has been seen in His glory, Isa 14:32He turned to the prayer of the destitute, || And He has not despised their prayer. This is written for a later generation, || And the people created praise YAH. For He has looked || From the high place of His sanctuary. YHWH looked attentively from the heavens to earth, To hear the groan of the prisoner, || To loose sons of death, Psa 79:11To declare in Zion the Name of YHWH, || And His praise in Jerusalem, Isa 62:6In the peoples being gathered together, || And the kingdoms—to serve YHWH. Zec 8:21He has humbled my power in the way, || He has shortened my days. Psa 89:45I say, “My God, do not take me up in the midst of my days,” || Your years [are] through all generations. Job 21:21You founded the earth before time, || And the heavens [are] the work of Your hands. Heb 1:10They perish, and You remain, || And all of them become old as a garment, || You change them as clothing, || And they are changed. Isa 51:6; Mat 24:35And You [are] the same, and Your years are not finished. Job 36:26; Psa 81:2; Mal 3:6The sons of Your servants continue, || And their seed is established before You!
