1. Hear my prayer, O Lord;let my cry come to you!
2. Do not hide your face from mein the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!
3. For my days pass away like smoke,and my bones burn like a furnace.
4. My heart is struck down like grass and has withered;I forget to eat my bread.
5. Because of my loud groaningmy bones cling to my flesh.
