Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord; hear my urgent cry.
O Lord, please hear my prayer! Listen to the prayers of those of us who delight in honoring you. Please grant me success today by making the king favorable to me. Put it into his heart to be kind to me.” In those days I was the king’s cup-bearer.
Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
O Lord, hear my plea for justice. Listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer, for it comes from honest lips.
Listen to my prayer, O God. Do not ignore my cry for help!
