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.

10 because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.
11 My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass.
