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.
He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.
He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.
I am a brother to dragons, And a companion to owls.
My soul waiteth for the Lord More than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
