8. My enemies taunt me all day long;they ridicule and curse me.
9. I eat ashes like breadand mingle my drinks with tears
10. because of Your indignation and wrath;for You have picked me up and thrown me aside.
11. My days are like a lengthening shadow,and I wither away like grass.
12. But You, Lord, are enthroned forever; Your fame endures to all generations.
13. You will rise up and have compassion on Zion,for it is time to show favor to her —the appointed time has come.
