Psalms 102:1

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.

Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.

But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.

Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”

I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.

Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.

You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Yahweh’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock.

“Now I will arise,” says Yahweh. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.

In my distress, I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.

For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
