Psalms 102:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like glowing embers.

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

5 Through my loud groaning my flesh clings to my bones.

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

7 I lie awake; I am like a lone bird on a housetop.
