A Prayer of the afflicted, when he fainteth, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

10 Nalunghan na le nagimbol nachun eidom sang in eipaidoh tai.

Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
