1   Hear my prayer, O LORD;           let my cry come to you. 2   Do not hide your face from me           in the day of my distress.      Incline your ear to me;           answer me speedily in the day when I call. 3   For my days pass away like smoke,           and my bones burn like a furnace. 4   My heart is stricken and withered like grass;           I am too…
