6 I am like a desert owl,like an owl living in the ruins.
7 I lie awake.I am like a lonely bird on a rooftop.
8 All day long my enemies insult me.Those who ridicule me use my name as a curse.
9 I eat ashes like breadand my tears are mixed with my drink
10 because of your hostility and anger,because you have picked me up and thrown me away.
11 My days are like a shadow that is getting longer,and I wither away like grass.
12 But you, O Lord, remain forever.You are remembered throughout every generation.
