Bible in Basic English
"My days are wasted like smoke, and my bones are burned up as in a fire."
— Psalms 102:3, Bible in Basic English
“For my days go up in smoke, and my bones are charred like a fireplace.”
Give ear to my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you.
Let not your face be veiled from me in the day of my trouble; give ear to me, and let my cry be answered quickly.
My days are wasted like smoke, and my bones are burned up as in a fire.
My heart is broken; it has become dry and dead like grass, so that I give no thought to food.
Because of the voice of my sorrow, my flesh is wasted to the bone.
I am like a bird living by itself in the waste places; like the night-bird in a waste of sand.
