Read in context

Psalms 102:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears

10 because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.

11 My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass.

12 But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations.

13 You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor— the appointed time has come.
