I cried like a swift or thrush, I moaned like a mourning dove. My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens. I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”

我像燕子呢喃，像白鹤鸣叫，又像鸽子哀鸣；我因仰观，眼睛困倦。耶和华啊，我受欺压，求你为我作保。

我之呢喃、如燕如鶴、我之哀鳴、有若班鳩、瞻望目疲、耶和華歟、我遭愁苦、爾其保余、

I cried softly like a weak little bird. I sounded like a dove as I mourned. My eyes grew tired as I looked up toward heaven. Lord, my life is in danger. Please come and help me!

Like a swallow or a crane I chirp; I moan like a dove. My eyes are weary with looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my pledge of safety!

Delirious, I chattered like a swallow or a crane, and then I moaned like a mourning dove. My eyes grew tired of looking to heaven for help. I am in trouble, Lord. Help me!”

I chirp like a swallow or a crane; I moan like a dove. My eyes grow weak looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed; support me.

Like a swallow, like a crane, so I twitter; I moan like a dove; My eyes look wistfully to the heights; Lord, I am oppressed, be my security.

Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered; I mourned like a dove; My eyes fail from looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; Undertake for me!

Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.

I chirp like a swallow or a crane; I moan like a dove. My eyes grow weak looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed; support me.

Like a crane[ or] a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail[ with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

Like a swallow or a thrush I chirp, I coo like a dove; my eyes grow tired from looking up to the sky. O sovereign master, I am oppressed; help me!

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance, but it is far away.

I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of owls.

I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.

It is decreed that Nineveh be exiled and carried away. Her female slaves moan like doves and beat on their breasts.

Ensure your servant’s well- being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.My eyes fail, looking for your salvation, looking for your righteous promise.

The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins.

Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

My heart is blighted and withered like grass; I forget to eat my food.In my distress I groan aloud and am reduced to skin and bones.I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof.

My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say,“ When will you comfort me?”

“ Give me, O God, the pledge you demand. Who else will put up security for me?

Moreover, our eyes failed, looking in vain for help; from our towers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
