⁶ I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.

² Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

⁷ In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.

³ Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

⁴ Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

¹⁶ I -- to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.

¹⁹ But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed `is' God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!

² My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,

¹⁷ Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes and see; and hear Thou all the words of Sennacherib that he hath sent to reproach the living God.

²⁰ And now, Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth do know that Thou `art' Jehovah, Thyself alone.'

¹⁷ and now, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, and cause Thy face to shine on Thy sanctuary that `is' desolate, for the Lord's sake.

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.

¹⁹ O lord, hear, O Lord, forgive; O Lord, attend and do; do not delay, for Thine own sake, O my God, for Thy name is called on Thy city, and on Thy people.'
