¹⁸ `Incline, O my God, Thine ear, and hear, open Thine eyes and see our desolations, and the city on which Thy name is called; for not for our righteous acts are we causing our supplications to fall before Thee, but for Thy mercies that `are' many.

⁷ and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them?
