I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.
I am a brother to jackals, And a companion to ostriches.
