Psalms 102 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Shamai (hearken / hear) my thapalah (prayer), Yahawah ()! Let my cry bawaa (come) to you.

2 Don't sathar (hide) your panayam (face) from me in the yawam (day) of my tzar (oppressor / distressor). Natah (turn) your azan (ear) to me. Inah (answer / respond) me mahar (quickly) in the yawam (day) when I qaraa (called).

3 For my yawam (day) kalah (complete / finish) away like ishan (smoke). My itzam (bones) are charar (burned) as a torch.

4 My lab (heart) is blighted like ishab (grass), and yabash (dry land), for I shakach (forget) to akal (eat) my lacham (bread).

5 By reason of the qawal (sound / voice) of my anachah (groaning), my itzam (bones) stick to my bashar (flesh).

6 I am damah (like) a pelican of the madabar (wilderness). I have become as an kawas (owl) of the charabah (waste) places.

7 I shaqad (watch), and have become like a tzapawar (sparrow) that is badad (alone) on the housetop.

8 My ayab (enemy) charap (reproach) me all yawam (day). Those who are halal (praise) at me use my name as a curse.

9 For I have akal (eat) ashes like lacham (bread), and mixed my shaqaw (drink) with tears,

10 Panayam (face) of your zaim (indignation) and your qatzap (wrath), for you have nashaa (lift) me up, and shalak (thrown) me away.

11 My yawam (day) are like a long tzal (shadow). I have yabash (dry land) like ishab (grass).

12 But you, Yahawah (), will yashab (inhabit/dwell) iwalam (forever); your renown yashab (inhabit/dwell) to all dawar (generation / age / period).

13 You will qawam (rise up) and have racham (show mercy / love) on Tzayawan (Zion); for it is ith (time) to chanan (showing favor) pity on her. Yes, the mawaid (Feast/Holy Day) time bawaa (bring) come.

14 For your ibad (servant) ratzah (take) pleasure in her aban (stone), and chanan (showing favor) pity on her ipar (dust).

15 So the gawayam (nations) will yaraa (fear / be afraid) the sham (name) of Yahawah (); all the malakay (kings) of the aratz (Earth/land) your kabawad (glory).

16 For Yahawah () has banah (build) up Tzayawan (Zion). He has raah (see) in his kabawad (glory).

17 He has responded to the thapalah (prayer) of the irair (destitute), and has not bazah (despised) their thapalah (prayer).

18 This will be kathab (write) for the dawar (generation / age / period) to acharawan (come). A im (nation / people) which will be baraa (created) will halal (praise) Yah ().

19 For he has shaqap (looked) down from the marawam (height) of his qadash (set apart / make holy). From shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens), Yahawah () nabat (saw) the aratz (Earth/land);

20 To shamai (hearken / hear) the groans of the asayar (prisoner); to pathach (free) those who are condemned to thamawathah (death);

21 That men may sapar (book) the sham (name) of Yahawah () in Tzayawan (Zion), and his thahalah (praise) in Yarawashalam (Jerusalem);

22 When the imayam (peoples) are qabatz (gathered) yachad (together), the mamalakawath (kingdoms), to ibad (servant) Yahawah ().

23 He inah (answer / respond) my kach (strength / mighty / power) darak (along) the course. He shortened my yawam (day).

24 I amar (said), “My Al, don't ilah (go up / offer) me away in the chatzay (midst) of my yawam (day). Your shanah (years) are throughout all dawarayam (generations).

25 Of panayam (face), you yasad (laid) the foundation of the aratz (Earth/land). The shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens) are the maishah (work) of your yad (hand).

26 They will abad (destroy / perish), but you will imad (endure). Yes, all of them will wear out like a bagad (garment). You will chalap (change) them like a cloak, and they will be chalap (changed).

27 But you are the same. Your shanah (years) will thamam (have) no end.

28 The banay (my son) of your ibad (servant) will shakan (place). Their zarai (seed) will be kawan (established) panayam (face) you.”
