Context of Psalms 102:9
7I lie awake, I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop. 8My enemies have reproached me all day long; Those who deride me have used my name as a curse. For I have eaten ashes like bread And mingled my drink with weeping 10Because of Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up and cast me away. 11My days are like a lengthened shadow, And I wither away like grass.
