7 (8) I keep watch, and am like a tzippor (bird) alone upon the gag (housetop, roof).
8 (9) Mine oyevim (enemies) reproach me kol hayom; and they that revile me curse by me.
9 (10) For I have eaten ashes like lechem, and mingled my drink with tears.
10 (11) Because of Thine za'am (indignation) and Thy ketsef (wrath, anger); for Thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11 (12) My days are like a tzel (shadow) that lengtheneth; and I am withered like esev (grass).
12 (13) But Thou, Hashem, shall endure l'olam; and Thy memory unto dor vador.
13 (14) Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Tziyon; for the time to favor her, the mo'ed (set time, appointed time) has come.
