Psalms 102:1-10

1. 1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

2. 2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

3. 3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

4. 4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

5. 5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

6. 6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

7. 7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

8. 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

9. 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

10. 10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
