Psalm 102:1-11
Psalm 102
A prayer of a suffering person who has become weak. They pour out their problems to the Lord.
Lord, hear my prayer.
Listen to my cry for help.
Don’t turn your face away from me
when I’m in trouble.
Pay attention to me.
When I call out for help, answer me quickly.
My days are disappearing like smoke.
My body burns like glowing coals.
My strength has dried up like grass.
I even forget to eat my food.
I groan out loud because of my suffering.
I’m nothing but skin and bones.
I’m like a desert owl.
I’m like an owl among destroyed buildings.
I can’t sleep. I’ve become
like a bird alone on a roof.
All day long my enemies laugh at me.
Those who make fun of me use my name as a curse.
I eat ashes as my food.
My tears fall into what I’m drinking.
You were very angry with me.
So you picked me up and threw me away.
The days of my life are like an evening shadow.
I dry up like grass.
