¹⁵ Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.^(A)

¹¹ Lord, let your ear be attentive^(A) to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor^(B) in the presence of this man.”

⁶ let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear^(A) the prayer^(B) your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess^(C) the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you.

¹⁶ Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts,^(A) turn away^(B) your anger and your wrath^(C) from Jerusalem,^(D) your city, your holy hill.^(E) Our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn^(F) to all those around us.

Lord, forgive!^(M) Lord, hear and act! For your sake,^(N) my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”
