12 My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me
    (A)like a shepherd's tent;
(B)like a weaver (C)I have rolled up my life;
    (D)he cuts me off from the loom;
(E)from day to night you bring me to an end;
13     (F)I calmed myself[a] until morning;
like a lion (G)he breaks all my bones;
    from day to night you bring me to an end.

14 Like (H)a swallow or a crane I chirp;
    (I)I moan like a dove.
(J)My eyes are weary with looking upward.
    O Lord, I am oppressed; (K)be my pledge of safety!
