Psalms 101:3-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.

4. For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.

5. I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.

6. Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.

7. I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.

8. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
