Context of Psalms 102:8
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. My 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.
