Psalms 102

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 [Prayer of someone afflicted, who in misfortune pours out sorrows before Yahweh] Yahweh, hear myprayer, let my cry for help reach you.
2 Do not turn away your face from me when I am in trouble; bend down and listen to me, when I cal ,be quick to answer me!	2 ܡܪܝܐ ܫܡܥ ܨܠܘܬܝ ܘܓܥܬܝ ܠܘܬܟ ܬܥܘܠ
3 For my days are vanishing like smoke, my bones burning like an oven;	3 ܠܐ ܬܗܦܟ ܐ̈ܦܝܟ ܡܢܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܪܟܢ ܠܝ ܐܕܢܟ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܐܩܪܝܟ ܘܒܥܓܠ ܥܢܝܢܝ
4 like grass struck by blight, my heart is withering, I forget to eat my meals.	4 ܡܛܠ ܕܓܡܪܘ ܒܬܢܢܐ ܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܘܓܪ̈ܡܝ ܚܘܪܘ ܐܝܟ ܡܘܩ̈ܕܐ
5 From the effort of voicing my groans my bones stick out through my skin.	5 ܚܡܐ ܠܒܝ ܐܝܟ ܥܣܒܐ ܘܝܒܫ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܥܝܬ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܗ ܕܠܚܡܝ
6 I am like a desert-owl in the wastes, a screech-owl among ruins,	6 ܡܢ ܩܠܐ ܕܬܐ̈ܢܚܬܝ ܕܒܩ ܒܣܪܝ ܠܓܪ̈ܡܝ
7 I keep vigil and moan like a lone bird on a roof.	7 ܘܐܬܕܡܝܬ ܠܩܩܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܗܘܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܥܘܕܐ ܒܚܪܒܬܐ
8 Al day long my enemies taunt me, those who once praised me now use me as a curse.	8 ܣܪܕܬ ܘܗܘܝܬ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܐܝܟ ܨܦܪܐ ܕܡܦܪܚܐ ܥܠ ܐܓܪ̈ܐ
9 Ashes are the food that I eat, my drink is mingled with tears,	9 ܟܠܗ ܝܘܡܐ ܚܣܕܘܢܝ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܘܡܫܒܚ̈ܢܝ ܒܝ ܝܡܝܘ
10 because of your fury and anger, since you have raised me up only to cast me away;	10 ܡܛܠ ܕܩܛܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܥܣܬ ܘܡܫܬܝ ܒܒܟܬܐ ܡܙܓܬ
11 my days are like a fading shadow, I am withering up like grass.	11 ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܡܬܟ ܘܪܘܓܙܟ ܕܐܪܝܡܬܢܝ ܘܫܕܝܬܢܝ
12 But you, Yahweh, are enthroned for ever, each generation in turn remembers you.	12 ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܐܝܟ ܛܠܠܐ ܐܬܪܟܢܘ ܘܐܢܐ ܝܒܫܬ ܐܝܟ ܥܣܒܐ
13 Rise up, take pity on Zion! the time has come to have mercy on her, the moment has come;	13 ܘܐܢܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܩܝܡ ܐܢܬ ܘܕܘܟܪܢܟ ܠܕܪܕܪܝܢ
14 for your servants love her very stones, are moved to pity by her dust.	14 ܐܢܬ ܩܘܡ ܘܪܚܡ ܥܠ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܛܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܠܡܪܚܡܘ ܥܠܝܗ̇
15 Then wil the nations revere the name of Yahweh, and al the kings of the earth your glory;	15 ܡܛܠ ܕܨܒܘ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܟ ܒܟܐ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܘܠܥܦܪܗ̇ ܪܚܡܘ
16 when Yahweh builds Zion anew, he will be seen in his glory;	16 ܢܕܚܠܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܠܫܡܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܠܐܝܩܪܟ
17 he wil turn to hear the prayer of the destitute, and wil not treat their prayer with scorn.	17 ܡܛܠ ܕܒܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܡܬܚܙܐ ܒܫܘܒܚܗ
18 This shall be put on record for a future generation, and a people yet to be born shal praise God:	18 ܘܡܬܦܢܐ ܥܠ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܕܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܐܛ ܨܠܘܬܗܘܢ
19 Yahweh has leaned down from the heights of his sanctuary, has looked down from heaven to earth,	19 ܬܬܟܬܒ ܗܕܐ ܠܕܪܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܥܡܐ ܕܡܬܒܪܐ ܢܫܒܚ ܠܡܪܝܐ
20 to listen to the sighing of the captive, and set free those condemned to death,	20 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܕܝܩ ܡܢ ܡܪܘܡܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܐܕܝܩ
21 to proclaim the name of Yahweh in Zion, his praise in Jerusalem;	21 ܠܡܫܡܥ ܐܢܩܬܗ ܕܐܣܝܪܐ ܘܠܡܫܪܐ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ
22 nations wil gather together, and kingdoms to worship Yahweh.	22 ܕܢܫܬܥܘܢ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܬܫܒܚ̈ܬܗ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
23 In my journeying my strength has failed on the way;	23 ܡܐ ܕܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܠܡܪܝܐ
24 let me know the short time I have left. Do not take me away before half my days are done, for youryears run on from age to age.	24 ܡܟܟܘ ܚܝܠܝ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܒܨܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܝܘܡ̈ܝ
25 Long ago you laid earth's foundations, the heavens are the work of your hands.	25 ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܬܣܩܢܝ ܒܦܠܓܘܬ ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܘܠܕܪܕܪܝܢ ܫܢܝ̈ܟ
26 They pass away but you remain; they al wear out like a garment, like outworn clothes you changethem;	26 ܡܢ ܠܩܘܕܡܝܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܬܩܢܬ ܘܥܒܕ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟ ܫܡܝܐ
27 but you never alter, and your years never end.	27 ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܘܐܢܬ ܩܝܡ ܐܢܬ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܠܒܘܫܐ ܒܠܝܢ ܘܐܝܟ ܡܪܛܘܛܐ ܡܬܚܠܦܝܢ
28 The children of those who serve you wil dwel secure, and their descendants live on in yourpresence.	28 ܘܐܢܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܝܬܝܟ ܐܢܬ ܘܫ̈ܢܝܟ ܠܐ ܓܡܪ̈ܢ
