Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, and listen [to] my cry for help; do not be deaf to my tears. For I [am] an alien with you, a sojourner like all my ancestors.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

“Let there be no strange god among you,
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.

How terrible for me, that I am an alien in Meshech, that I reside among the tents of Kedar!

Put forth thy hands from on high: - Snatch me away and rescue me out of mighty waters, out of the hand of the sons of the alien,

Set me free and rescue me from the hand of [hostile] foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks deceit [without restraint],
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
