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;

²⁹ that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou hast said, My name shall be there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.

³⁰ And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place; and when thou hearest, forgive.

⁵ And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto Jehovah my God;

¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

¹¹ Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? `Pluck it' out of thy bosom `and' consume `them'.

¹ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

² I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.

¹ Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

² Behold, as the eyes of servants `look' unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes `look' unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

³ Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud. Psalm 124 A Song of Ascents; of David.
