6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness;I am like an owl of the desert.
7 I lie awake,And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.
8 My enemies reproach me all day long;Those who deride me swear an oath against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,And mingled my drink with weeping,
10 Because of Your indignation and Your wrath;For You have lifted me up and cast me away.
11 My days are like a shadow that lengthens,And I wither away like grass.
12 But You, O Lord, shall endure forever,And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
