1Hear my prayer, O Lord, And let my cry for help come to You! Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline Your ear to me; In the day when I call, answer me quickly. 3For my days have vanished in smoke, And my bones have been scorched like a hearth. 4My heart has been struck like grass and withered, Indeed, [absorbed by my heartache] I forget to eat my food.
