2. Don't hide from mein my time of trouble.Pay attention to my prayerand quickly give an answer.
3. My days disappear like smoke,and my bones are burningas though in a furnace.
4. I am wasting away like grass,and my appetite is gone.
5. My groaning never stops,and my bones can be seenthrough my skin.
6. I am like a lonely owlin the desert
7. or a restless sparrowalone on a roof.
8. My enemies insult me all day,and they use my namefor a curse word.
9. Instead of food,I have ashes to eatand tears to drink,
10. because you are furiousand have thrown me aside.
11. My life fades like a shadowat the end of dayand withers like grass.
