The verses around it, from Psalm 102.
2 Do not hide Your face from me in my day of distress. Incline Your ear to me; answer me quickly when I call.
3 For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like glowing embers.
4 My heart is afflicted, and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread.
5 Through my loud groaning my flesh clings to my bones.
6 I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
7 I lie awake; I am like a lone bird on a housetop.
8 All day long my enemies taunt me; they ridicule me and curse me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears
10 because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.
