3. For my days vanish like smoke,and my bones burn like a furnace.
4. My heart is afflicted, withered like grass; I even forget to eat my food.
5. Because of the sound of my groaning,my flesh sticks to my bones.
6. I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
7. I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof.
8. My enemies taunt me all day long;they ridicule and curse me.
9. I eat ashes like breadand mingle my drinks with tears
10. because of Your indignation and wrath;for You have picked me up and thrown me aside.
11. My days are like a lengthening shadow,and I wither away like grass.
12. But You, Lord, are enthroned forever; Your fame endures to all generations.
