"My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread. "
— Psalms 102:4, American Standard Version
“My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.”
“My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.”
“My heart is parched and withered like grass, for I am unable to eat food.”
“Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.”
“My heart is broken; it has become dry and dead like grass, so that I give no thought to food.”
“My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.”
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.
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.
For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.
My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.
By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
