Context of Psalms 102:8
6I am like a wild bird in the desert. I am like an owl in the wilderness. 7I am awake in the night, like a bird that sits alone on the roof. All day my enemies insult me. They laugh at me and they use my name as a curse. 9Because you are so angry with me, I eat ashes as my food. My tears drop into the water that I drink. It seems that you have picked me up, and then you have thrown me away.
