Psalms 102:4
Compare all
2 aDo not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble;
Incline Your ear to me;
In the day that I call, answer me speedily. 
3 For my days1 are aconsumed like smoke,
And my bones are burned like a hearth. 
4 My heart is stricken and withered like grass,
So that I forget to eat my bread.
5 Because of the sound of my groaning
My bones cling to my1 skin. 
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness;
I am like an owl of the desert.
7 I lie awake,

8 My enemies reproach me all day long;
Those who deride me swear an oath against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And mingled my drink with weeping,
