Incline, O Lord, thy ear, and hear: open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God.
I beseech thee, O Lord, let thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who desire to fear thy name. And direct thy servant this day: and give him mercy before this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
Let thy ears be attentive, and thy eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, night and day, for the children of Israel thy servants. And I confess the sins of the children of Israel, by which they have sinned against thee: I and my father's house have sinned.
Unto the end, for David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hands of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.
