2. Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress.Turn your ear to me.Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
3. For my days consume away like smoke.My bones are burnt as a torch.
4. My heart is blighted like grass, and withered,for I forget to eat my bread.
5. By reason of the voice of my groaning,my bones stick to my skin.
6. I am like a pelican of the wilderness.I have become as an owl of the waste places.
7. I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
8. My enemies reproach me all day.Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
9. For I have eaten ashes like bread,and mixed my drink with tears,
10. Because of your indignation and your wrath,for you have taken me up, and thrown me away.
