6. I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
7. I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.
8. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.
9. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
10. Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
11. My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12. But thou, O Lord, shalt abide for ever; and thy memorial unto all generations.
13. Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for it is time to have pity upon her, yea, the set time is come.
