Targum for Isaiah 38:14

כְּס֤וּס עָגוּר֙ כֵּ֣ן אֲצַפְצֵ֔ף אֶהְגֶּ֖ה כַּיּוֹנָ֑ה דַּלּ֤וּ עֵינַי֙ לַמָּר֔וֹם אֲדֹנָ֖י עָֽשְׁקָה־לִּ֥י עָרְבֵֽנִי׃

Like a swallow or a crane, so do I chatter, I do moan as a dove; mine eyes fail with looking upward. O LORD, I am oppressed, be Thou my surety. .

Targum Jonathan on Isaiah

As a swallow chirps which is caught, so I chirped; and I moan like a dove: I lifted up mine eyes, that refreshing to might come to me from (before) Him whose Shekinah is in the highest heavens: O Lord, hear my prayer; grant my petition.
