Psalms 102:5-14

1. 5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

2. 6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

3. 7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

4. 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

5. 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

6. 10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

7. 11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

8. 12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

9. 13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

10. 14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
