1. Lord, hear my prayer;let my cry for help come before You.
2. Do not hide Your face from me in my day of trouble.Listen closely to me;answer me quickly when I call.
3. For my days vanish like smoke,and my bones burn like a furnace.
4. My heart is afflicted, withered like grass; I even forget to eat my food.
5. Because of the sound of my groaning,my flesh sticks to my bones.
6. I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
