New Century Version

Psalms 102:4-10 New Century Version (NCV)

4. My heart is like grassthat has been cut and dried.I forget to eat.

5. Because of my grief,my skin hangs on my bones.

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

7. I lie awake.I am like a lonely bird on a housetop.

8. All day long enemies insult me;those who make fun of me use my name as a curse.

9. I eat ashes for food,and my tears fall into my drinks.

10. Because of your great anger,you have picked me up and thrown me away.
