8. My enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are enraged against me are sworn against me.
9. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10. Because of thy indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11. My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12. But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance to all generations.
13. Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come.
