1. Listen to my prayer, O Lord,and hear my cry for help!
2. When I am in trouble,don't turn away from me!Listen to me,and answer me quickly when I call!
3. My life is disappearing like smoke;my body is burning like fire.
4. I am beaten down like dry grass;I have lost my desire for food.
5. I groan aloud;I am nothing but skin and bones.
6. I am like a wild bird in the desert,like an owl in abandoned ruins.
