Psalm 102:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Prayer to the Eternal King for Help

A prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord.

102 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
let my cry come to thee!
²Do not hide thy face from me
in the day of my distress!
Incline thy ear to me;
answer me speedily in the day when I call!

³For my days pass away like smoke,
and my bones burn like a furnace.
