Listen to my concerns and keep me safe, just as you have promised.
And now, LORD God, please do what you have promised me and my descendants.
Show me your love and save me, LORD, as you have promised.
I belong to you, and I have respected your laws, so keep me safe.
Please listen to my prayer and my cry for help, as I lift my hands towards your holy temple.
Listen to my prayer and hurry to save me. Be my mighty rock and the fortress where I am safe.
Please, don't send me back to that prison at Jonathan's house. If you do, I will die.”
and said, “Please pray to the LORD your God for us. Judah used to have many people, but as you can see, only a few of us are left.
