Psalms 39:12

Hear my prayer, Lord (Yahweh),
listen to (turn your ear to) my cry (in agony, deep anguish),
do not be silent at my tears;
for I am a stranger with you,
a sojourner (temporary guest) like all my ancestors.
[There is a rabbinical expression that describes three types of prayer, in increasing order of intensity: silent prayer, loud prayer, and finally tears. Tears are the strongest expression of prayer. There is no closed door that tears cannot penetrate, according to a commentary in the Mishnah (the first written work summarizing the Torah and the oral tradition), see Berachot 32b. The expression "strangers and guests" originates from Gen. 23:4, where Abraham buys a piece of land in Hebron to bury his wife Sarah. Guest and stranger also describe the transience of human life and our short time on earth, see 1 Chron. 29:15; Hebr. 11:13; 1 Pet. 2:11. In Lev. 25:23, God owns the land and the Israelites are "strangers and guests of God." Based on the entire context of the whole chapter in Lev. 25, another point emerges. Just as the Israelites were to take care of the stranger, David desires that God take care of him.]
