1. Hear my tefillah, Hashem, and let my cry for help come unto Thee.
2. (3) Hide not Thy face from me in the yom tzar (day of distress); incline Thine ear unto me; in the yom when I call, answer me speedily.
3. (4) For my yamim are consumed like ashan (smoke), and my atzmot burn like a furnace.
4. (5) My lev is struck, and withered like esev; so that I forget to eat my lechem.
