Psalm 102:4

Affliction In Light Of Eternity

³
For my days have vanished in smoke,
And my bones have been scorched like a hearth.
⁴ 
My heart has been struck like grass and withered,
Indeed, [absorbed by my heartache] I forget to eat my food.
⁵
Because of the sound of my groaning [in suffering and trouble]
My bones cling to my flesh.
