1. Hear my prayer, O Lord,and let my cry come unto You.
2. Do not hide Your face from mein the day when I am in trouble;incline Your ear to me;in the day when I call answer me quickly.
3. For my days are consumed like smoke,and my bones are burned as a furnace.
4. My heart is struck down and withered like grass,so that I forget to eat my bread.
5. Because of the sound of my groaningmy bones cling to my skin.
