8. All the day my enemies taunt me;those who deride me use my name for a curse.
9. For I eat ashes like breadand mingle tears with my drink,
10. because of your indignation and anger;for you have taken me up and thrown me down.
11. My days are like an evening shadow;I wither away like grass.
12. But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever;you are remembered throughout all generations.
13. You will arise and have pity on Zion;it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come.
