1 lord, hear my prayer!Listen to my plea!
2 Don’t turn away from mein my time of distress.Bend down to listen,and answer me quickly when I call to you.
3 For my days disappear like smoke,and my bones burn like red-hot coals.
4 My heart is sick, withered like grass,and I have lost my appetite.
5 Because of my groaning,I am reduced to skin and bones.
6 I am like an owl in the desert,like a little owl in a far-off wilderness.
