9. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10. Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and cast me down.
11. My days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like grass.
12. But you, O LORD, shall endure forever; and your remembrance unto all generations.
13. You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yea, the set time, is come.
14. For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof.
15. So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth your glory.
16. When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
