¹⁷ And now, give ear, O our God, to the prayer of your servant and to his request for grace, and let your face be shining on your holy place which is made waste, because of your servants, O Lord.

¹⁸ O my God, let your ear be turned and give hearing; let your eyes be open and see how we have been made waste and the town which is named by your name: for we are not offering our prayers before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercies.

¹⁹ O Lord, give ear; O Lord, have forgiveness; O Lord, take note and do; let there be no more waiting; for the honour of your name, O my God, because your town and your people are named by your name.

² Let my prayer be ordered before you like a sweet smell; and let the lifting up of my hands be like the evening offering.

⁶ O Lord, give ear to my prayer; and take note of the sound of my requests.

⁷ In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer.

¹ <To the chief music-maker on corded instruments. A Psalm. Of David.> Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer.

⁷ And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
