9
(101-10) For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
10
(101-11) Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
11
(101-12) My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
12
(101-13) But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
13
(101-14) Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
14
(101-15) For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
15
(101-16) All the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16
(101-17) For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
17
(101-18) He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
18
(101-19) Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
19
(101-20) Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
