1 I pray to you, Lord!Please listen.
2 Don't hide from mein my time of trouble.Pay attention to my prayerand quickly give an answer.
3 My days disappear like smoke,and my bones are burningas though in a furnace.
4 I am wasting away like grass,and my appetite is gone.
5 My groaning never stops,and my bones can be seenthrough my skin.
6 I am like a lonely owlin the desert
7 or a restless sparrowalone on a roof.
