Attend

Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.

Attend unto me, and answer me, I may ramble in my complaining, And be driven to and fro -

Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:

But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Attend thou unto my loud cry, for I am brought very low, - Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I.

Now, mine eyes, shall be open, and, mine ears, attent, - to the prayer of this place.

Let, I pray thee, thine ears be attentive and thine eyes open - to hearken unto the prayer of thy servant - -which, I, am praying before thee now, day and night, for the sons of Israel, thy servants, - -and making confession concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, which we have committed against thee, both I and the house of my father, have sinned.

Incline, O my God, thine ear, and hearken, open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city on which hath been called thy name; for, not on the ground of our own righteousnesses, are we causing our supplications to fall down before thee, but on the ground of thine abounding compassions.

Not out of feigned lips

At the hearing of the ear, they submitted to me, the sons of the foreigner, came cringing unto me:

yet, in spite of all this, her treacherous sister Judah returned not unto me, with all her heart, - but, falsely, Declareth Yahweh.

This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;

Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him - See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
