I lie awake, I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.
Thou dost hold my eyelids from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off.
my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
O my God, I cry by day, but thou dost not answer; and by night, but find no rest.
I am a brother of jackals, and a companion of ostriches.
