¹⁷ I did not sit in the company of merrymakers,
    nor did I rejoice;
under the weight of your hand I sat alone,
    for you had filled me with indignation.^(A)

⁷ I lie awake;
    I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.^(A)

⁹ I am silent; I do not open my mouth,
    for it is you who have done it.^(A)
