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

Verse 6 is found in chapter 102 of Psalms. Psalm 102 is a prayer from someone deeply afflicted who nevertheless keeps his eyes fixed on God’s permanence. The individual’s fragility is compared to dried grass and a declining shadow, while the Lord remains. The restoration of Zion acquires a generational dimension: future generations will know the glory of God. The contrast between mortality and eternity constitutes the theological axis of the psalm.

Mein Gebein klebt an meinem Fleisch vor Heulen und Seufzen.
Soy semejante al pelícano del desierto; Soy como el búho de las soledades.
Me parezco al pelícano del desierto; soy como un búho entre las ruinas.
Je ressemble au pélican du désert, Je suis comme le chat-huant des ruines;
Io son divenuto simile al pellicano del deserto; E son come il gufo delle solitudini.
Sou semelhante ao pelicano no deserto; sou como um mocho nas solidões.
我如同曠野的鵜鶘, 好像荒地的貓頭鷹。
