- Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come to you.
- Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.
- For my days vanish like smoke; my bones burn like glowing embers.
- My heart is blighted and withered like grass; I forget to eat my food.
- Because of my loud groaning I am reduced to skin and bones.

- Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
- Hide 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.
- For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
- My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
- By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
