Psalms 102:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 Do not hide Your face from me in my day of distress. Incline Your ear to me; answer me quickly when I call.

3 For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like glowing embers.

4 My heart is afflicted, and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread.

5 Through my loud groaning my flesh clings to my bones.

6 I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
