New International Version (NIV)

12“Hear my prayer, Lord,

listen to my cry for help;

do not be deaf to my weeping.

I dwell with you as a foreigner,

a stranger, as all my ancestors were.

12¶“Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry for help;

Do not be silent to my tears;

For I am a stranger with You,

One who lives abroad, like all my fathers.

12“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry;

Do not be silent at my tears;

For I am a stranger with You,

A sojourner like all my fathers.

12¶“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and listen to my cry;

Do not be silent at my tears;

For I am Your temporary guest,

A sojourner like all my fathers.

12Hear my prayer, O Lord,

and give ear to my cry for help;

do not be deaf to my weeping.

For I am a foreigner dwelling with You,

a stranger like all my fathers.

12“Lord, hear my prayer.

Listen to my cry for help.

Pay attention to my weeping.

I’m like an outsider in your home.

I’m just a stranger, like all my family who lived before me.
