New International Version (NIV)

14I 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!”

14“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.

14Like a swallow, like a crane, so I twitter;

I moan like a dove;

My eyes look wistfully to the heights;

O Lord, I am oppressed, be my security.

14“Like a swallow, like a crane, so I chirp;

I coo like a dove.

My eyes look wistfully upward;

O Lord, I am oppressed, take my side and be my security.

14I chirp like a swallow or crane;

I moan like a dove.

My eyes grow weak as I look upward.

O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security.”

14I 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!
