- Hear my prayer, O LORD! And let my cry for help come to You.
- Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress; Incline Your ear to me; In the day when I call answer me quickly.
- For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have been scorched like a hearth.
- My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away, Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.
- Because of the loudness of my groaning My bones cling to my flesh.
|
- I resemble a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the waste places.
- I lie awake, I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.
- My enemies have reproached me all day long; Those who deride me have used my name as a curse.
- For I have eaten ashes like bread And mingled my drink with weeping
- Because of Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up and cast me away.
|
- My days are like a lengthened shadow, And I wither away like grass.
