Verse of the day

1. A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah. Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee. 2. 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. 3. For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand. 4. My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread. 5. By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh. 6. I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places. 7. I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
