“I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.”
King James Version (KJV)
102:5 Skin - My flesh being quite consumed.
102:6 A pelican - Is a solitary and mournful bird.
102:9 Bread - The sense is, dust and ashes are as familiar to me as the eating of my bread; I cover my head with them; I sit, yea, lie down in them, as mourners often did.
