Let my prayercomebeforeYou; InclineYour earto my cry!
"Ifa mansinsagainst his neighborand is madeto takean oath,and he comes[and] takesan oathbeforeYour altarin thishouse,
I risebefore dawnand cryfor help;I waitfor Your words.
Yet You are holy,O You who are enthronedupon the praisesof Israel.
InclineYour earto me, rescueme quickly;Be to me a rockof strength,A strongholdto saveme.
Let the groaningof the prisonercomebeforeYou; According to the greatnessof Your powerpreservethosewhoare doomedto die.
Be graciousto me, O Lord,For to You I cryalldaylong.
EvenwhenI cryout and callfor help,He shutsout my prayer.
