The prayer of an oppressed man, as he grows faint and pours out his lament before the Lord.
102:1 O Lord, hear my prayer!
Pay attention to my cry for help! 2
102:6 I am like an owl 3 in the wilderness;
I am like a screech owl 4 among the ruins. 5
102:7 I stay awake; 6
I am like a solitary bird on a roof.
