Psalm 102:1-7

New American Standard Bible

102 ^(A)Hear my prayer, Lord!
And let my cry for help ^(B)come to You.
^2 (C)Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress;
^(D)Incline Your ear to me;
On the day when I call ^(E)answer me quickly.
³ For my days ^(F)have ended in smoke,
And my ^(G)bones have been scorched like a hearth.
⁴ My heart ^(H)has been struck like ^[b]grass and has ^(I)withered,
Indeed, I ^(J)forget to eat my bread.
⁵ Because of the ^[c]loudness of my groaning
My ^(K)bones ^[d]cling to my flesh.
⁶ I resemble a ^(L)pelican of the wilderness;
I have become like an owl of the ruins.
⁷ I ^(M)lie awake,
I have become like a solitary bird on a housetop.
