Psalm 102:7

Bible in Basic English 1965

I keep watch like a bird by itself on the house-top.

See the chapter Copy

I have become a brother to the jackals, and go about in the company of ostriches.

My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.

You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.
