¹⁹ O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

^18 (A)O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes ^(B)and see our desolations, and the city ^(C)which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies.

⁸ I say to you, ^(A)though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

² And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said:

^10 (A)to the intent that now ^(B)the ^[a]manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church ^(C)to the ^[b]principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

^12 (A)that we ^(B)who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

^19 (A)Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, ^(B)according to the greatness of Your mercy, just ^(C)as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”
