102

Psalm 102

1 Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea!

2 Don't turn away from me in my time of distress.

Bend down your ear & answer me quickly when I call to You,

for my days disappear like smoke,

& my bones burn like red-hot coals.

4 My heart is sick, withered like grass,

& I have lost my appetite.

5 Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin & bones.

6  I am like an owl in the desert,

like a lonely owl in a far off wilderness.

7 I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof.


11 My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows.

I am withering like grass.
