Mazmur 102:2

102:2 Do not ignore me in my time of trouble! ¹ 

Listen to me! ² 

When I call out to you, quickly answer me!

[102:2]  ¹ tn 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).

[102:2]  ² tn Heb “turn toward me your ear.”
