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 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 thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

¹¹My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

¹²But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

¹³Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

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

¹⁵So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

¹⁶When the Lord shall build up Zion, 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.

¹⁹For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord 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 in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

²²When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

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

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁵Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁶They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

²⁷But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

²⁸The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

⁴My heart is smitten, and withered like grasse: so that I forget to eate my bread.

^5‖By reason of the voice of my groning, my bones cleaue to my skinne.

⁶I am like a Pelican of the wildernes: I am like an owle of the desert.

⁷I watch, and am as a sparowe alone vpon the house top.

⁸Mine enemies reproch me all the day: and they that are mad against me, are sworne against me.

⁹For I haue eaten ashes like bread: and mingled my drinke with weeping.

¹⁰Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me vp, and cast me downe.

^11*My dayes are like a shadow, that declineth: & I am withered like grasse.

¹²But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for euer: and thy remembrance vnto all generations.

¹³Thou shalt arise, and haue mercie vpon Zion: for the time to fauour her, yea the set time is come.

¹⁴For thy seruants take pleasure in her stones: and fauour the dust therof.

¹⁵So the heathen shall feare the Name of the LORD: and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

¹⁶When the LORD shall build vp Zion: he shall appeare 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.

¹⁹For hee hath looked downe from the height of his Sanctuarie: from heauen did the LORD beholde the earth:

^20†To heare the groning of the prisoner: to loose those that are appointed to death:

²¹To declare the Name of the LORD in Zion: and his praise in Ierusalem:

²²When the people are gathered together: and the kingdomes to serue the LORD.

^23†He weakened my strength in the way: he shortened my dayes.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my dayes: thy yeres are throughout all generations.

^25*Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heauens are the worke of thy hands.

^26†They shall perish, but thou shalt indure, yea all of them shall waxe old like a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shalbe changed.

²⁷But thou art the same: and thy yeeres shall haue no end.

²⁸The children of thy seruants shal continue: and their seed shall be established before thee.

²How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

²How long shall I take counsel in my soule, hauing sorrow in my heart dayly? how long shall mine enemie be exalted ouer me?

¹¹When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

^11†When thou with rebukes doest correct man for iniquitie, thou makest his beautie to consume away like a moth: surely euery man is vanitie. Selah.

⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
