Psalms 102:3-9

3For my days have vanished in smoke, And my bones have been scorched like a hearth.

4My heart has been struck like grass and withered, Indeed, [absorbed by my heartache] I forget to eat my food.

5Because of the sound of my groaning [in suffering and trouble] My bones cling to my flesh.

6I am like a [mournful] vulture of the wilderness; I am like a [desolate] owl of the wasteland.

7I am sleepless and lie awake [mourning], I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.

8My enemies taunt me all day long; Those who ridicule me use my name as a curse.

9For I have eaten ashes like bread, And have mingled my drink with tears
