Psalms 102:1-2
1O Lord, hear my prayer!
Pay attention to my cry for help! ▼▼ Heb “and may my cry for help come to you.”
2 Do not ignore me in my time of trouble! ▼▼ Heb “do not hide your face from me in the day of my trouble.” The idiom “to hide the face” can mean “to ignore” (see
Pss 10:11;
13:1;
51:9) or carry the stronger idea of “to reject” (see
Pss 29:7;
30:7;
88:14).
Listen to me! ▼▼ Heb “turn toward me your ear.”
When I call out to you, quickly answer me!
