Context of Psalms 102:8
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. My 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 10Because of Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up and thrown me away.
