² Let my prayer come before you; give ear to my cry:

³¹ If a man does wrong to his neighbour, and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

² Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.

¹¹ Let the cry of the prisoner come before you; with your strong arm make free the children of death;

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.

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.

⁸ Even when I send up a cry for help, he keeps my prayer shut out.
