I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the house-top.
I became a brother of jackals, and a companion of ostriches.
My being looks to יהוה More than those watching for morning, watching for morning.
O My Elohim, I call by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I find no rest.
My loved ones and my friends stand back from my plague, And my neighbours stand far away.
You ceased the watches of my eyes, I was too troubled to speak.
