My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 102 of Psalms. Psalm 102 is a prayer from someone deeply afflicted who nevertheless keeps his eyes fixed on God’s permanence. The individual’s fragility is compared to dried grass and a declining shadow, while the Lord remains. The restoration of Zion acquires a generational dimension: future generations will know the glory of God. The contrast between mortality and eternity constitutes the theological axis of the psalm.

Denn meine Tage sind vergangen wie ein Rauch, und meine Gebeine sind verbrannt wie ein Brand.
Mi corazón fue herido, y secose como la hierba; Por lo cual me olvidé de comer mi pan.
Mi corazón está herido y marchito como la hierba; hasta me olvido de comer mi pan.
Mon coeur est frappé et se dessèche comme l'herbe; J'oublie même de manger mon pain.
Il mio cuore è stato percosso come erba, Ed è seccato; Perciocchè io ho dimenticato di mangiare il mio pane.
O meu coração está ferido e seco como a erva, por isso me esqueço de comer o meu pão.
我的心如草被踩碎而枯乾, 甚至我忘記吃飯。
