I watch, and am become Like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.
I am a brother to jackals, And a companion to ostriches.
My soul looketh for the Lord, More than watchmen look for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou answerest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
