39:12 Hear my prayer, O Lord!
Listen to my cry for help!
Do not ignore my sobbing! 1
For I am dependent on you, like one residing outside his native land;
I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were. 2
[39:12] 1 tn Heb “do not be deaf to my tears.”
[39:12] 2 tn Heb “For a resident alien [am] I with you, a sojourner like all my fathers.”
