1. lord, hear my prayer!Listen to my plea!
2. Don’t turn away from mein my time of distress.Bend down to listen,and answer me quickly when I call to you.
3. For my days disappear like smoke,and my bones burn like red-hot coals.
4. My heart is sick, withered like grass,and I have lost my appetite.
5. Because of my groaning,I am reduced to skin and bones.
6. I am like an owl in the desert,like a little owl in a far-off wilderness.
7. I lie awake,lonely as a solitary bird on the roof.
8. My enemies taunt me day after day.They mock and curse me.
9. I eat ashes for food.My tears run down into my drink
