1. Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help.
2. Don't turn your face away from me when I'm in trouble. Pay attention to me. When I call out for help, answer me quickly.
3. My days are disappearing like smoke. My body burns like glowing coals.
4. My strength has dried up like grass. I even forget to eat my food.
5. I groan out loud because of my suffering. I'm nothing but skin and bones.
6. I'm like a desert owl. I'm like an owl among destroyed buildings.
7. I can't sleep. I've become like a bird alone on a roof.
