Context of Psalms 102:8

6I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places; 7I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me. 9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, 10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
