1. O Lord, hear my prayer,and let my cry for help come to you.
2. Do not hide your face from me when I am in trouble.Turn your ear toward me.Answer me quickly when I call.
3. My days disappear like smoke.My bones burn like hot coals.
4. My heart is beaten down and withered like grassbecause I have forgotten about eating.
5. I am nothing but skin and bonesbecause of my loud groans.
6. I am like a desert owl,like an owl living in the ruins.
