Psalms 102:3-11

3For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals.

4My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite.

5Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones.

6I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness.

7I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof.

8My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me.

9I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink

10because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out.

11My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass.
