I lie awake, I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.
I watch, and am as a sparrow Alone upon the house top.
I am sleepless and lie awake [mourning], like a bereaved sparrow alone on the housetop.

My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Thou dost hold my eyelids from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
