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.
