7. I lie awake, I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.
8. My enemies have reproached me all day long; Those who deride me have used my name as a curse.
9. For I have eaten ashes like bread And mingled my drink with weeping
10. Because of Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up and cast me away.
11. My days are like a lengthened shadow, And I wither away like grass.
12. But You, O Lord, abide forever, And Your name to all generations.
