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 away.
11 My days
are like a shadow that lengthens,
And I wither away like grass.
12 But You, O
Lord, shall endure forever,
And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
13 You will arise
and have mercy on Zion;
For the time to favor her,
Yes, the set time, has come.
