Psalms 102:1-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 102
1 Hear my prayer, Lord! And let my cry for help come to You. 2Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress; Incline Your ear to me; On the day when I call answer me quickly. 3For my days have ended in smoke, And my bones have been scorched like a hearth. 4My heart has been struck like grass and has withered, Indeed, I forget to eat my bread. 5Because of the loudness of my groaning My bones cling to my flesh. 6I resemble a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the ruins. 7I lie awake, I have become like a solitary bird on a housetop. 8My enemies have taunted me all day long; Those who deride me have used my name as a curse.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
2Do not hide your face from me in my day of trouble. Listen closely to me; answer me quickly when I call.
3For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.
4My heart is suffering, withered like grass; I even forget to eat my food.
5Because of the sound of my groaning, my flesh sticks to my bones.
6I am like an eagle owl, like a little owl among the ruins.
7I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof.
8My enemies taunt me all day long; they ridicule and use my name as a curse.
New Living Translation
Chapter 102
1Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! 2Don’t turn away from me in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you. 3For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals. 4My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite. 5Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones. 6I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness. 7I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof. 8My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me.English Standard Version
Chapter 102
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you! 2 Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your 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. 4My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread. 5Because of my loud groaning my bones cling to my flesh. 6I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places; 7I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop. 8All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse.New International Version
2Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.
3For my days vanish like smoke; my bones burn like glowing embers.
4My heart is blighted and withered like grass; I forget to eat my food.
5In my distress I groan aloud and am reduced to skin and bones.
6I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
7I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof.
8All day long my enemies taunt me; those who rail against me use my name as a curse.
