"For my days have vanished in smoke. Like the teachings of the Mishnah. Turn to the prayer of the afflicted. Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachmani said in the name of Rabbi Abba: It was not necessary to say 'turn to the prayer of the afflicted' and not 'despise their prayer.' Rather, the prayer of the afflicted refers to Manasseh, who prayed despite his evil deeds, and not 'their prayer,' which refers to Hezekiah and David, as it is said, 'And Hezekiah prayed.' Rabbi Acha said in the name of Rabbi Alexandri: Fortunate is the person who has someone to rely on."
