Gimel

I am a stranger on earth;
    do not hide your commands from me.

Psalm 119:19

There is a certain alienation that comes from approaching the divine through meditation on the Law. The people of the world are strangers to me, or rather, I become a stranger to them. The thoughts of a person who is consumed with desire for the law at all times are totally different from a person with earthly desires. So we call for consolation from God and desire his company.
