Let my prayer come before thee, incline thy ear to my cry!

See the chapter Copy

Incline thy ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be thou 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 thee; according to thy great power preserve those doomed to die!

“If a man sins against his neighbor and is made to take an oath, and comes and swears his oath before thine altar in this house,

Yet thou art holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

be gracious to me, O Lord, for to thee do I cry all the day.

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in thy words.
