¹⁹ Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee;

²⁸ Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;

¹ Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large `when I was' in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

¹ Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

² Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

¹ Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

² Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;

³ Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah

²⁰ Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.

² Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

¹⁷ Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

¹⁸ O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies' sake.

¹⁹ O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

¹ And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;

² saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:

³ and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

⁴ And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

⁵ yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.

⁶ And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.

⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and `yet' he is longsuffering over them?

²⁰ Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;
