let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:
I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
