I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
I have become a brother to jackals, a companion to ostriches.
My soul looks for the Lord more than sentinels for daybreak. More than sentinels for daybreak,
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why so far from my call for help, from my cries of anguish?
My heart shudders, my strength forsakes me; the very light of my eyes has failed.
When I think of God, I groan; as I meditate, my spirit grows faint. Selah
