18 O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city that is ^wcalled by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy.

19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. ^xDelay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your ^ypeople are called by your name.”
