Psalms 101:10 For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

For. Or "therefore." --- Weeping. These figurative expressions denote excessive grief, Psalm 79:6. (Calmet) --- Meat and drink gave me no more satisfaction than ashes. (Worthington) --- Rolling on the ground, through grief, my food was spoiled. (Menochius)
