[:en]The Psalmist wrote this psalm when he was in trouble and crying for help to the Lord. He was comparing himself to a lonely bird: “I am like a desert owl and like an owl among the ruins. I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof” (vs. 6-7) His enemies were taunting him (v. 8) but he acknowledged that God has the power to change his circumstances (vs. 12-22). He knew that everything in this world will perish but God will remain the same. (vs. 25-26)
In your days of trouble, turn to God in prayer. Build you life in the Lord, who is changeless and eternal.[:]
