Psalm 102

¹Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.
²Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
³For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
⁴My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
⁵By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
⁶I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
⁷I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
⁸Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
¹⁰Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
¹¹My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
¹²But thou, O Lord, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
¹³Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
¹⁴For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
¹⁵So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
¹⁶When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
¹⁷He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
¹⁹For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
²⁰To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
²¹To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
²²When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
²³He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
²⁵Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
²⁶They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
²⁷But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
²⁸The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

¹⁶And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
¹⁷And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
¹⁸When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.
¹⁹So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.
²⁰And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.
²¹And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
²²And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
²³And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
²⁴And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
²⁵And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.

³⁶And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
³⁷And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
³⁸And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
³⁹Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
⁴⁰And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
⁴¹There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
⁴²And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
⁴³Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
⁴⁴And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
⁴⁵Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
⁴⁶My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
⁴⁷Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
⁴⁸And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
⁴⁹And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
⁵⁰And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
