Psalms 102

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 A prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to thee!
2 Do not hide thy face from me in the day of my distress! Incline thy ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!	2 ܡܪܝܐ ܫܡܥ ܨܠܘܬܝ ܘܓܥܬܝ ܠܘܬܟ ܬܥܘܠ
3 For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.	3 ܠܐ ܬܗܦܟ ܐ̈ܦܝܟ ܡܢܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܪܟܢ ܠܝ ܐܕܢܟ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܐܩܪܝܟ ܘܒܥܓܠ ܥܢܝܢܝ
4 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; I forget to eat my bread.	4 ܡܛܠ ܕܓܡܪܘ ܒܬܢܢܐ ܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܘܓܪ̈ܡܝ ܚܘܪܘ ܐܝܟ ܡܘܩ̈ܕܐ
5 Because of my loud groaning my bones cleave to my flesh.	5 ܚܡܐ ܠܒܝ ܐܝܟ ܥܣܒܐ ܘܝܒܫ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܥܝܬ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܗ ܕܠܚܡܝ
6 I am like a vulture of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;	6 ܡܢ ܩܠܐ ܕܬܐ̈ܢܚܬܝ ܕܒܩ ܒܣܪܝ ܠܓܪ̈ܡܝ
7 I lie awake, I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.	7 ܘܐܬܕܡܝܬ ܠܩܩܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܗܘܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܥܘܕܐ ܒܚܪܒܬܐ
8 All the day my enemies taunt me, those who deride me use my name for a curse.	8 ܣܪܕܬ ܘܗܘܝܬ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܐܝܟ ܨܦܪܐ ܕܡܦܪܚܐ ܥܠ ܐܓܪ̈ܐ
9 For I eat ashes like bread, and mingle tears with my drink,	9 ܟܠܗ ܝܘܡܐ ܚܣܕܘܢܝ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܘܡܫܒܚ̈ܢܝ ܒܝ ܝܡܝܘ
10 because of thy indignation and anger; for thou hast taken me up and thrown me away.	10 ܡܛܠ ܕܩܛܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܥܣܬ ܘܡܫܬܝ ܒܒܟܬܐ ܡܙܓܬ
11 My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.	11 ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܡܬܟ ܘܪܘܓܙܟ ܕܐܪܝܡܬܢܝ ܘܫܕܝܬܢܝ
12 But thou, O LORD, art enthroned for ever; thy name endures to all generations.	12 ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܐܝܟ ܛܠܠܐ ܐܬܪܟܢܘ ܘܐܢܐ ܝܒܫܬ ܐܝܟ ܥܣܒܐ
13 Thou wilt arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come.	13 ܘܐܢܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܩܝܡ ܐܢܬ ܘܕܘܟܪܢܟ ܠܕܪܕܪܝܢ
14 For thy servants hold her stones dear, and have pity on her dust.	14 ܐܢܬ ܩܘܡ ܘܪܚܡ ܥܠ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܛܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܠܡܪܚܡܘ ܥܠܝܗ̇
15 The nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.	15 ܡܛܠ ܕܨܒܘ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܟ ܒܟܐ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܘܠܥܦܪܗ̇ ܪܚܡܘ
16 For the LORD will build up Zion, he will appear in his glory;	16 ܢܕܚܠܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܠܫܡܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܠܐܝܩܪܟ
17 he will regard the prayer of the destitute, and will not despise their supplication.	17 ܡܛܠ ܕܒܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܡܬܚܙܐ ܒܫܘܒܚܗ
18 Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet unborn may praise the LORD:	18 ܘܡܬܦܢܐ ܥܠ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܕܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܐܛ ܨܠܘܬܗܘܢ
19 that he looked down from his holy height, from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,	19 ܬܬܟܬܒ ܗܕܐ ܠܕܪܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܥܡܐ ܕܡܬܒܪܐ ܢܫܒܚ ܠܡܪܝܐ
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die;	20 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܕܝܩ ܡܢ ܡܪܘܡܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܐܕܝܩ
21 that men may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise,	21 ܠܡܫܡܥ ܐܢܩܬܗ ܕܐܣܝܪܐ ܘܠܡܫܪܐ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ
22 when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.	22 ܕܢܫܬܥܘܢ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܬܫܒܚ̈ܬܗ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
23 He has broken my strength in mid-course; he has shortened my days.	23 ܡܐ ܕܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܠܡܪܝܐ
24 "O my God," I say, "take me not hence in the midst of my days, thou whose years endure throughout all generations!"	24 ܡܟܟܘ ܚܝܠܝ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܒܨܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܝܘܡ̈ܝ
25 Of old thou didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.	25 ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܬܣܩܢܝ ܒܦܠܓܘܬ ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܘܠܕܪܕܪܝܢ ܫܢܝ̈ܟ
26 They will perish, but thou dost endure; they will all wear out like a garment. Thou changest them like raiment, and they pass away;	26 ܡܢ ܠܩܘܕܡܝܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܬܩܢܬ ܘܥܒܕ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟ ܫܡܝܐ
27 but thou art the same, and thy years have no end.	27 ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܘܐܢܬ ܩܝܡ ܐܢܬ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܠܒܘܫܐ ܒܠܝܢ ܘܐܝܟ ܡܪܛܘܛܐ ܡܬܚܠܦܝܢ
28 The children of thy servants shall dwell secure; their posterity shall be established before thee.	28 ܘܐܢܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܝܬܝܟ ܐܢܬ ܘܫ̈ܢܝܟ ܠܐ ܓܡܪ̈ܢ
