I lie awake; I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.
I watch, and am as a sparrow Alone upon the house top.
I am sleepless and lie awake [mourning], like a bereaved sparrow alone on the housetop.
I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
I lie awake all night. I’m all alone like a bird on a roof.

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.
