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.
7. I lie awake;I am like a lonely bird on a housetop.
8. All day long my enemies insult me;those who mock me use my name in cursing.
9-10. Because of your anger and fury,ashes are my food,and my tears are mixed with my drink.You picked me up and threw me away.
11. My life is like the evening shadows;I am like dry grass.
12. But you, O Lord, are king for ever;all generations will remember you.
