“For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,”
Psalms 102:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 102:9
Eating ashes like bread and drinking tears suggests that sorrow has become the psalmist's daily sustenance. Ashes (epher) symbolize mourning and repentance throughout Scripture (Job 42:6, Jonah 3:6). This extreme imagery expresses how suffering permeates every aspect of life. Yet even in such depths, the psalmist continues addressing God, demonstrating that lament is a form of faith. Christ, the Man of Sorrows (Isa 53:3), sanctified suffering by enduring it perfectly, offering hope to all who suffer.
