My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue is glued to My throat; and You have brought Me down to the dust of death.

For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have been parched like a stick.

I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread.

And my skin has been greatly blackened, and my bones are burned with heat.

I will meditate on Your statutes; I will not forget Your words.

The snares of sinners entangled me; but I forgot not Your law.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant; for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
