7. I lie awake.I am like a lonely bird on a housetop.
8. All day long enemies insult me.Those who make fun of me use my name as a curse.
9. I eat ashes as my food.My tears fall into my drinks.
10. Because of your great anger,you have picked me up and thrown me away.
11. My days are like a passing shadow.I am like dried grass.
12. But, Lord, you rule forever.Your fame continues from now on.
13. You will come and have mercy on Jerusalem.The time has now come to be kind to her.
