Psalm 88:2

American Standard Version (1901)

Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry.

See the chapter Copy

Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.

Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee: According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to death;

If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come and swear before thine altar in this house;

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long.

I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
