7 I cannot sleep. I am like a lonely bird on the roof.
8 My enemies insult me all the time. They make fun of me and use me as an example in their curses.
9 My great sadness is my only food. My tears fall into my drink.
10 You were angry with me, so you picked me up and threw me away.
11 My life is almost finished, like the long shadows at the end of the day. I am like dry and dying grass.
12 But you, Lord, will rule as king forever! Your name will continue forever and ever!
13 You will rise up and comfort Zion. The time has come for you to be kind to Zion.
