1. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.
2. Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: incline thine ear unto me; in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3. For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.
4. My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread.
