Psalms 102:3-9

3For my days 1have been 2consumed in smoke, And my 3bones have been scorched like a hearth.4My heart 4has been smitten like 5grass and has 6withered away, Indeed, I 7forget to eat my bread.5Because of the 8loudness of my groaning My 9bones 10cling to my flesh.6I 11resemble a 12pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the waste places.7I 13lie awake, I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.

8My enemies 14have reproached me all day long; Those who 15 16deride me 17have used my name as a 18curse.9For I have eaten ashes like bread And 19mingled my drink with weeping
