Psalm 102:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Psalm 102

Prayer to the Eternal King for Help

A prayer of one afflicted, when faint and pleading before the Lord.

¹Hear my prayer, O Lord;
    let my cry come to you.
²Do 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.
