Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
    the poor[a] (A)go out to their toil, (B)seeking game;

They gather their[b] fodder in the field,
    and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.

    and have no covering in the cold.
They are wet with the rain of the mountains
    and (D)cling to the rock for lack of shelter.
