Psalm 5:1

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

{To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.} Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

Let my cause come to your ears, O Lord, give attention to my cry; give ear to my prayer which goes not out from false lips.

Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.

O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.

Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.

Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.

For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.

Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.

Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
