American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress:Incline thine ear unto me;In the day when I call answer me speedily.
For my days consume away {Or, in smoke}like smoke,And my bones are burned {Or, as a hearth}as a firebrand.
My heart is smitten like grass, and withered;For I forget to eat my bread.
By reason of the voice of my groaningMy bones cleave to my flesh.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness;I am become as an owl of the waste places.
I watch, and am become like a sparrowThat is alone upon the house-top.
Mine enemies reproach me all the day;They that are mad against me do curse by me.
For I have eaten ashes like bread,And mingled my drink with weeping,
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath:For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
My days are like a shadow that {Or, is stretched out}declineth;And I am withered like grass.
But thou, O Jehovah, {Or, sittest as King}wilt abide for ever;And thy memorial name unto all generations.
