Psalms 102:4-11 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

4. I am wasting away like grass,and my appetite is gone.

5. My groaning never stops,and my bones can be seenthrough my skin.

6. I am like a lonely owlin the desert

7. or a restless sparrowalone on a roof.

8. My enemies insult me all day,and they use my namefor a curse word.

9. Instead of food,I have ashes to eatand tears to drink,

10. because you are furiousand have thrown me aside.

11. My life fades like a shadowat the end of dayand withers like grass.
