O LORD God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
