Psalms 102:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

8 All day long my enemies taunt me; they ridicule me and curse me.

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.
