1 Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help.
2 Don't turn your face away from me when I'm in trouble. Pay attention to me. When I call out for help, answer me quickly.
3 My days are disappearing like smoke. My body burns like glowing coals.
4 My strength has dried up like grass. I even forget to eat my food.
5 I groan out loud because of my suffering. I'm nothing but skin and bones.
