1Ki 8:28-30, Ezr 9:5, Psa 74:10-11, 91:1-2, Psa 123 | ESV | STEP | Yet have regard to the prayer of your servant and to his plea , O Lord my God , listening to the cry and to the prayer that your servant prays before you this day ,

28 Yet have regard to the prayer of your servant and to his plea, O Lord my God, listening to the cry and to the prayer that your servant prays before you this day, 29 ^athat your eyes may be open night and day toward this house, the place of which you have said, ^b‘My name shall be there,’ that you may listen to the prayer that your servant offers toward this place. 30 And listen to the plea of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. And listen in heaven your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive.

Ezra 9:5

5 And at the ^cevening sacrifice I rose from my fasting, with my garment ^dand my cloak torn, and fell upon my knees ^eand spread out my hands to the Lord my God,

Psalms 74:10-11

10 How long, O God, ^fis the foe to scoff?
Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
11 Why ^gdo you hold back your hand, your right hand?
Take it from the fold of your garment ^{▼▼Hebrew from your bosom} and destroy them!

Psalms 91:1-2

My Refuge and My Fortress

1 He who dwells in ⁱthe shelter of the Most High
will abide in ^jthe shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say ^{▼▼Septuagint He will say} to the Lord, “My ^lrefuge and my ^mfortress,
my God, in whom I ⁿtrust.”

Psalms 123

Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

A Song of ^oAscents.

1 To you I ^plift up my eyes,
O you who are ^qenthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
3 ^rHave mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of ^scontempt.
4 Our soul has had more than enough
of ^tthe scorn of ^uthose who are at ease,
of the contempt of ^vthe proud.

1 Kings 8:28-30
