1. O Lord, hear my prayer!Pay attention to my cry for help!
2. Do not ignore me in my time of trouble!Listen to me!When I call out to you, quickly answer me!
3. For my days go up in smoke,and my bones are charred like a fireplace.
4. My heart is parched and withered like grass,for I am unable to eat food.
5. Because of the anxiety that makes me groan,my bones protrude from my skin.
6. I am like an owl in the wilderness;I am like a screech owl among the ruins.
