²¹ And give ear to the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear from heaven your living-place; and hearing have mercy.

¹⁸ Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

²⁵ I, even I, am he who takes away your sins; and I will no longer keep your evil doings in mind.

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.

¹² And make us free of our debts, as we have made those free who are in debt to us.

⁹ Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

¹⁵ For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

²² I have put your evil doings out of my mind like a thick cloud, and your sins like a mist: come back to me; for I have taken up your cause.

² As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.

³ O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

⁴ But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

¹ <A Song of the going up.> To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

² The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)

³ You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.

¹² Is not God as high as heaven? and see the stars, how high they are!

¹³ And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark?

¹⁴ Thick clouds are covering him, so that he is unable to see; and he is walking on the arch of heaven.

²⁷ Then the priests and the Levites gave the people a blessing: and the voice of their prayer went up to the holy place of God in heaven.

³⁹ Then give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong against you.
