'Tears' in the Bible

I am weary from my groaning;with my tears I dampen my pillowand drench my bed every night.

“Hear my prayer, Lord,and listen to my cry for help;do not be silent at my tears.For I am a foreigner residing with You,a temporary resident like all my fathers.

My tears have been my food day and night,while all day long people say to me,“Where is your God?”

You Yourself have recorded my wanderings.Put my tears in Your bottle.Are they not in Your records?

You fed them the bread of tearsand gave them a full measureof tears to drink.

I eat ashes like breadand mingle my drinks with tears

For You, Lord, rescued me from death,my eyes from tears,my feet from stumbling.

My eyes pour out streams of tearsbecause people do not follow Your instruction.

Those who sow in tearswill reap with shouts of joy.
