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,
3 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.
