12 My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me
    like a shepherd’s tent;
like a weaver I have rolled up my life;
    he cuts me off from the loom;
from day to night you bring me to an end;[a]
13     I cry for help[b] until morning;
like a lion he breaks all my bones;
    from day to night you bring me to an end.[c]

14 Like a swallow or a crane[d] I clamour,
    I moan like a dove.
My eyes are weary with looking upwards.
    O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security!
