I watch, and am as a sparrow alone on the house top.
I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
My soul waits for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
O my God, I cry in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
You hold my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
