American Standard Version
"I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places. "
— Psalms 102:6, American Standard Version
“I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.”
“I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.”
“I am like an owl in the wilderness; I am like a screech owl among the ruins.”
“The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.”
“I am like a bird living by itself in the waste places; like the night-bird in a waste of sand.”
“I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.”
For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.
My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.
By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.
For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,
