Psalms 102:6

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.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
