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.
13. You will rise up and have compassion on Zion,for it is time to show favor to her —the appointed time has come.
14. For Your servants take delight in its stonesand favor its dust.
