"I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top. "
— Psalms 102:7, American Standard Version
“I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.”
“I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.”
“I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof.”
“He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.”
“I keep watch like a bird by itself on the house-top.”
“I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.”
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,
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
