⁷ I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.

⁴ Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

¹¹ My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.

⁶⁶ and thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear night and day, and shalt have no assurance of thy life.

⁶⁷ In the morning thou shalt say, Would it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

¹³ When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint;

¹⁴ Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions:

¹⁵ So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than `these' my bones.

¹⁶ I loathe `my life'; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity.

² O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.

⁶ My soul `waiteth' for the Lord More than watchmen `wait' for the morning; `Yea, more than' watchmen for the morning.

²⁸ Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him.

²⁹ Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.

³⁰ Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.

³³ And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.

³⁴ And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch.

³⁵ And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt.

³⁷ And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?
