Even the sparrow found a house for herself and the swallow a nest to lay her young at your altar, LORD of the Heavenly Armies, my king and God.

I lie awake, yet I am like a bird isolated on a rooftop.

"Two sparrows are sold for a penny, aren't they? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's permission.

"Five sparrows are sold for two pennies, aren't they? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows."
