1[[A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and pours out his complaint before the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].]] Hear my prayer, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and let my cry come unto youⁱ.

2Hide not yourⁱ face from me in the day [when] I am in trouble; incline yourⁱ ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me speedily.

3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

4My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave (split open; cut open; divide) to my skin.

6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

8Mine enemies reproach (disgrace; shame) me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

10Because of yourⁱ indignation and yourⁱ wrath: for youⁱ have lifted me up, and cast me down.

11My days [are] like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like grass.

12But youⁱ, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], shall endure forever; and yourⁱ remembrance unto all generations.

13youⁱ shall arise, [and] have mercy upon Tziyon [Parched Place]: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

14For yourⁱ servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

15So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and all the kings of the earth yourⁱ glory.

16When the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] shall build up Tziyon [Parched Place], he shall appear in his glory.

17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD- [Yah] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

19For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] behold the earth;

20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

21To declare the name of the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] in Tziyon [Parched Place], and his praise in Yerushalayim [Foundation Of Peace];

22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].

23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

24I said, O my God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], take me not away in the midst of my days: yourⁱ years [are] throughout all generations.

25Of old have youⁱ laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of yourⁱ hands.

26They shall perish, but youⁱ shall endure: yea, all of them shall grow (become; advance) old like a garment; as a vesture shall youⁱ change them, and they shall be changed:

27But youⁱ [are] the same, and yourⁱ years shall have no end.

28The children of yourⁱ servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before youⁱ.
