1 O Lord, hear my prayer!Pay attention to my cry for help!
2 Do not ignore me in my time of trouble!Listen to me!When I call out to you, quickly answer me!
3 For my days go up in smoke,and my bones are charred like a fireplace.
4 My heart is parched and withered like grass,for I am unable to eat food.
5 Because of the anxiety that makes me groan,my bones protrude from my skin.
