9
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10
Because of thine 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 unto all generations.
13
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
14
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
