9For I have eaten ashes like bread
and mixed my drink with tears
10because of Your indignation and wrath,
for You have picked me up and cast me aside.
11My days are like lengthening shadows,
and I wither away like grass.
12But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever;
Your renown endures to all generations.
13You will rise up and have compassion on Zion,
for it is time to show her favor —
the appointed time has come.
14For Your servants delight in her stones
and take pity on her dust.
— Psalm 102:9-14
