8. My enemies reproach me all the day, and those that are mad against me are sworn against me.
9. For I have eaten ashes like bread and mingled my drink with weeping,
10. because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up and cast me down.
11. My days are like a shadow that declines, and I am withered like grass.
12. But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever and thy remembrance unto all generations.
13. Thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion; for the time to favour her, the set time, is come.
