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