1 Samuel 7:6

And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
