Lord, hear thou; Lord, be thou pleased, perceive thou, and do; my Lord God, tarry thou not, for thyself, for thy name is called to help on the city, and on thy people.
Hear thou the prayers of thy servant, and of thy people Israel; who-ever prayeth in this place, hear thou from thy dwelling place, that is, from heaven, and do thou mercy to him.

My God, for thyself bow down thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and see our desolation, and the city, on which thy name is called to help. For not in our justifyings we set forth meekly prayers before thy face, but in thy many merciful doings.
And it was done, when he had ended for to eat the herb of earth, I said, Lord God, I beseech, be thou merciful; who shall raise Jacob, for he is little?
