2 Hide not thy face from me: in the day of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me; in the day I call, answer me speedily.
2Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.
2Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.

4 My heart is smitten and withered like grass; yea, I have forgotten to eat my bread.

7 I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
7I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.

8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
9Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,

10From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.
10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
