Psalm 88:2

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry.

See the chapter Copy

Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me.

though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer;

Let the groans of the prisoners come before you; according to your great power, preserve those doomed to die.

“If someone sins against a neighbor and is required to take an oath and comes and swears before your altar in this house,

Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all day long.

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I put my hope in your words.
