"I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop."
— Psalms 102:7, World English Bible
“I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.”
“I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top. ”
“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 blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.
By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have taken me up, and thrown me away.
