Because my daies consume like smoak, and vanish soon away.
[verse 4] My bones like to an hearth are burnt, and like grasse parch't with heat;
My heart is smitten, so that I forget my bread to eat.
[verse 5] By reason of my groaning voice, my bones cleave to my skin:
[verse 6] Like Pelican in wildernesse forsaken have I bin.
[verse 7] I like an Owle in desart am, that out of sight is gone:
I watch, and as a Sparrow on the house top am alone.
[verse 8] My bitter enemies all the day reproaches cast on me:
And being mad at me with rage, against me sworne they be.
[verse 9] I surely ashes eaten have like bread, in sorrowes deep:
In griefe I mingled have my drink with teares, that I did weep.
[verse 10] Thy wrath and indignation did cause this griefe and paine;
For thou hast lifted me on high, and cast me downe againe.
[verse 11] The daies wherein I passe my life are like the fleeting shade;
And I am withered like the grasse that soon away doth fade.
[verse 12] But thou, Lord, everlasting art, and thou no end shalt see;

And unto generations all shall thy remembrance be.
[verse 13] Thou wilt arise, and mercy thou to Sion wilt extend:
The time of mercy, now the time fore-set is come to end.
[verse 14] For even in her ruinous stones thy servants do delight;
And the despised dust thereof finds favour in their sight.
