A prayer to the LORD: “my days consume away like smoke”
날이 연기 같이 소멸한다고 여호와께 아뢰는 기도
Psalm 102:1–11: a prayer of the speaker (“I”) to the LORD in the day of distress. The speaker prays, “Hear my prayer, LORD! Let my cry come to you. Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call. For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch. My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread. By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin. I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places. I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop. My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears, because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away. My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.” WEB opens 102:1 with the title “A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD.”; the Korean Revised Version text this collection holds has no title in 102:1.
