¹⁴ Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; my eyes fail [with looking] upward: Lord, I am oppressed, be my collateral.

¹¹ We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

⁷ It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.

¹⁶ But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

¹²² Ensure your servant's well-being. Don't let the proud oppress me.

¹²³ My eyes fail looking for your salvation, For your righteous word.

³ I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

²⁹ I am a brother to jackals, And a companion to ostriches.

¹⁷ Our eyes do yet fail [in looking] for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

⁷ Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, So that I don't become like those who go down into the pit.

² Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, Until he has mercy on us.

⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.

⁸² My eyes fail for your word. I say, "When will you comfort me?"

⁴ My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, For I forget to eat my bread.

⁵ By reason of the voice of my groaning, My bones stick to my skin.

⁶ I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

⁷ I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.

³ "Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?
