“Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.”
“Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.”
“Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple!”
My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.
Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.
Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.
Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.
Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.
