- 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.
|
- I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
- I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof.
- All day long my enemies taunt me; those who rail against me use my name as a curse.
- For I eat ashes as my food and mingle my drink with tears
- because of your great wrath, for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
