'Tears' in the Bible

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

"Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don't be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?

You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

Streams of tears run down my eyes, because they don't observe your law. TZADI

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
