New King James Version

Psalms 102:3-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. For my days are consumed like smoke,And my bones are burned like a hearth.

4. My heart is stricken and withered like grass,So that I forget to eat my bread.

5. Because of the sound of my groaningMy bones cling to my skin.

6. I am like a pelican of the wilderness;I am like an owl of the desert.

7. I lie awake,And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.

8. My enemies reproach me all day long;Those who deride me swear an oath against me.
