7. I stay awake;I am like a solitary bird on a roof.
8. All day long my enemies taunt me;those who mock me use my name in their curses.
9. For I eat ashes as if they were bread,and mix my drink with my tears,
10. because of your anger and raging fury.Indeed, you pick me up and throw me away.
11. My days are coming to an end,and I am withered like grass.
12. But you, O Lord, rule forever,and your reputation endures.
13. You will rise up and have compassion on Zion.For it is time to have mercy on her,for the appointed time has come.
14. Indeed, your servants take delight in her stones,and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins.
15. The nations will respect the reputation of the Lord,and all the kings of the earth will respect his splendor,
16. when the Lord rebuilds Zion,and reveals his splendor,
