2 Chronicles 6:19

Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

“Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.

He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or gray-headed. He gave them all into his hand.

Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

But Yahweh was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect for them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he didn’t cast them from his presence as yet.

Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father’s house have sinned.

Lord, I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Now I was cup bearer to the king.

Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.

I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.

I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,

You shall not do so to Yahweh your God; for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hates, they have done to their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

David said, “Yahweh who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go! Yahweh will be with you.”

You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.

Isn’t my house so with God? Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he doesn’t make it grow.

Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;

Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.

Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.

You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.

Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us.

Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.

In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.

Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.

I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more. My covenant will stand firm with him.

You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.

He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.

Turn to me, and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.

Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

Turn your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.

They take up bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea. They ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.

He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever:

Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,

But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”

The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
