Psalms 6:6-9

6 I am ^aweary with my ^bmoaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My ^ceye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 ^dDepart from me, all you ^eworkers of evil,
for the Lord ^fhas heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my ^gplea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.

Psalms 56:8-11

8 You have kept count of my tossings; ^{▼▼Or wanderings}
ⁱput my tears in your bottle.
^jAre they not in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
^kin the day when I call.
This I know, that ^{▼▼Or because} ^mGod is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; ⁿI shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

Psalms 126:5-6

5 ^oThose who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.

4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add ^qfifteen years to your life. ^{▼▼Hebrew to your days}

Matthew 5:4

John 16:20-22

20 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^tyou will weep and lament, but ^uthe world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but ^vyour sorrow will turn into joy. 21 ^wWhen a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 ^xSo also you have sorrow now, but ^yI will see you again, and ^zyour hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
