Please hear my words
My cries to you for help
Do not hide your face from me, in my time of distress
Turn your ears to me
Answer me quickly when i call
My days are vanishing like smoke
My bones are charred in a fireplace
My hearts been stuck like gra**
My soul has withered
I forget to eat my food because of my loud groaning
My bones cling to my flesh
I resemble a pelican of the wilderness
An owl among the ruins
I am emaciated like a solitary bird on a roof
All day long my enemies taunt me
They use my name as a curse
I eat ashes as my bread
My drink is mingled with tears
Because of your displeasure you lift me up to cast me aside
My days are like a fading shadow
I am withering like gra**
Remnants everlasting
The fame that endures for all generations
The time has come
There’s pleasure in her stones
You have affection for her dust
You cannot despise the destitute
Souls must exist
Accolades with ardor
From the heights its seen
The foundations of the earth
