1. The prayer of the pauper, when he was anxious, and so he poured out his petition in the sight of the Lord.
2. O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my outcry reach you.
3. Do not turn your face away from me. In whatever day that I am in trouble, incline your ear to me. In whatever day that I will call upon you, heed me quickly.
4. For my days have faded away like smoke, and my bones have dried out like firewood.
5. I have been cut down like hay, and my heart has withered, for I had forgotten to eat my bread.
