Psalm 102:6

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

“I have become a brother to jackals
And a companion of ostriches.

“Like 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.

Because of this I must lament and wail,
I must go barefoot and naked;
I must make a lament like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches.

But

pelican and hedgehog will possess it,

And owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the line of desolation
And the plumb line of emptiness.

Flocks will lie down in her midst,

All beasts which range in herds;

Both the

pelican and the hedgehog

Will lodge in the tops of her pillars;

Birds will sing in the window,

Desolation will be on the threshold;
For He has laid bare the cedar work.

and the ostrich and the owl and the sea gull and the hawk in its kind,

“Son of man, eat your bread with trembling and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.
