Psalm 102:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Do not conceal your face^[a] from my sight
    in the time of my distress.
Incline your ear to me;
    on the day when I call out to you, answer me speedily.
⁴ For my days are fading away like smoke,
    and my bones are burning like live coals.
⁵ My heart^[b] is stricken, withered like grass;
    I am too exhausted to eat my bread.
