Thematic Bible: Of disappointment and grief


Thematic Bible



Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.


I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
