Listen, Lord, to my prayer; hear my cries for help.
Listen now to my prayer and to the prayers of all your other servants who want to honor you. Give me success today and make the emperor merciful to me.” In those days I was the emperor's wine steward.
Hear my cry, O Lord; listen to my call for help!
Listen, O Lord, to my plea for justice; pay attention to my cry for help! Listen to my honest prayer.
Hear my prayer, O God; don't turn away from my plea!
