7 I lie awake; I have become

like a bird alone on a roof.

8 All day long my enemies taunt me;

those who rail against me use my name as a curse.

7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day;

And they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

7 I lie awake,

lonely as a solitary bird on the roof.

8 My enemies taunt me day after day.

They mock and curse me.

7 I lie awake,

And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.

8 My enemies reproach me all day long;

Those who deride me swear an oath against me.

7 I lie awake.

I am like a lonely bird on a housetop.

8 All day long enemies insult me;

those who make fun of me use my name as a curse.

7 I watch, and am become like a sparrow

That is alone upon the house-top.

8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day;

They that are mad against me do curse by me.

7 I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop. 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.

7 I lie awake. 

I am like a lonely bird on a rooftop. 

8 All day long my enemies insult me. 

Those who ridicule me use my name as a curse. 

7 I stay awake;

I am like a solitary bird on a roof.

8 My enemies taunt me all day long;

they ridicule and curse me.

7 I lie awake;

I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.

8 All day long my enemies taunt me;

those who deride me use my name for a curse.

7 I lie awake and I am

like a lone bird on a roof.

8 All the day my enemies reproach me;

those who mock me swear oaths against me.

7 I can’t sleep. I’ve become

like a bird alone on a roof.

8 All day long my enemies laugh at me.

Those who make fun of me use my name as a curse.

7 I lie awake,

I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.

8 My enemies have reproached me all day long;

Those who deride me have used my name as a curse.
