I lie awake; I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.
I am a brother of jackals and a companion of ostriches.
my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer; and by night but find no rest.
My friends and companions stand aloof from my affliction, and my neighbors stand far off.
You keep my eyelids from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
