I lie awake; I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.
You keep my eyelids from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
My friends and companions stand aloof from my affliction, and my neighbors stand far off.
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.
I am a brother of jackals and a companion of ostriches.
