Psalms 102:3-9 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. For my days vanish like smoke,and my bones burn like a furnace.

4. My heart is afflicted, withered like grass; I even forget to eat my food.

5. Because of the sound of my groaning,my flesh sticks to my bones.

6. I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.

7. I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof.

8. My enemies taunt me all day long;they ridicule and curse me.

9. I eat ashes like breadand mingle my drinks with tears
