Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

A false witness doth perish, And an attentive man for ever speaketh.

An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.

A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, Is the wise reprover to an attentive ear.

'Now, my God, let, I beseech Thee, Thine eyes be open, and Thine ears attentive, to the prayer of this place:

'Now, Mine eyes are open, and Mine ears attentive, to the prayer of this place;

let Thine ear be, I pray Thee, attentive, and Thine eyes open, to hearken unto the prayer of Thy servant, that I am praying before Thee to-day, by day and by night, concerning the sons of Israel Thy servants, and confessing concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, that we have sinned against Thee; yea, I and the house of my father have sinned;

'I beseech Thee, O Lord, let, I pray Thee, Thine ear be attentive unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto the prayer of Thy servants, those delighting to fear Thy Name; and give prosperity, I pray Thee, to Thy servant to-day, and give him for mercies before this man;' and I have been butler to the king.
