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.
