Psalm 102:7

Verse 7 of 28. The 102nd of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

3For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.

4My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

5By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.

6I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

7I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.

8My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.

9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

10because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.

11My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
