Context of Psalms 102:8
6I am like an owl in the wilderness; I am like a screech owl among the ruins. 7I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof. All day long my enemies taunt me; those who mock me use my name in their curses. 9For I eat ashes as if they were bread, and mix my drink with my tears, 10because of your anger and raging fury. Indeed, you pick me up and throw me away.
