Incline Your ear, my GOD, and hear. Open Your eyes and see our desolation and that of the city called by Your name. Not because of our righteousness do we lay our pleas before You, but because of Your great compassion. LORD, hear! LORD, forgive! LORD, listen and act! Do not delay – for Your sake, my GOD, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name. Our Father, compassionate Father, show us a sign for good, and gather our scattered ones from the four quarters of the earth. Let all the nations recognise and know that You are the LORD our GOD. And now, LORD, You are our Father. We are the clay and You are our potter; we are all the work of Your hand. Save us for the sake of Your name, our Rock, our King and our Redeemer. Pity Your people, LORD. Let not Your heritage become an object of scorn, a byword among nations. Why should they say among the peoples, “Where is their GOD?” We know we have sinned and that there is no-one to stand up for us. Let Your great name stand up for us in time of trouble. We know we have no merits of our own: therefore deal with us charitably for Your name’s sake. As a father has compassion on his children, so, LORD, have compassion on us, and save us for the sake of Your name. Have mercy on Your people; have compassion for Your heritage; take pity in Your great compassion. Be gracious to us and answer us, for righteousness is Yours, LORD. Always You do wondrous things.
Please look, please swiftly have compassion for Your people for Your name’s sake. In Your great compassion, LORD our GOD, have pity and compassion, and rescue the flock You tend. Let us not be ruled by wrath, for our eyes are turned towards You. Save us for Your name’s sake. Have compassion on us for the sake of Your covenant. Look and answer us in time of trouble, for Yours, LORD, is the power to save. Our hope is in You, GOD of forgiveness. Please forgive, good and forgiving GOD, for You are a gracious, compassionate GOD and King.
Please, gracious and compassionate King, remember and call to mind the Covenant between the Pieces [with Abraham] and let the binding of his only son [Isaac] appear before You for Israel’s sake. Our Father, our King, be gracious to us and answer us, for we are called by Your great name. You who work miracles at all times, deal with us according to Your lovingkindness. Gracious and compassionate One, look and answer us in time of trouble, for salvation is Yours, LORD. Our Father, our King, our Refuge, do not act with us according to our evil deeds. Remember, LORD, Your tender mercies and Your love. Save us in Your great goodness, and have mercy on us, for we have no other GOD but You, our Rock. Do not abandon us, LORD our GOD, do not be distant from us, for we are worn out by the sword and captivity, pestilence and plague, and by every trouble and sorrow. Rescue us, for in You lies our hope. Put us not to shame, LORD our GOD. Let Your face shine upon us. Remember for us the covenant of our ancestors and save us for Your name’s sake. See our troubles and heed the voice of our prayer, for You heed the prayer of every mouth.
O Compassionate and gracious GOD, have compassion on us and on all Your works, for there is none like You, LORD our GOD. Please, we beg You, forgive our sins, our Father, our King, our Rock, our Redeemer, living and eternal GOD, mighty in strength, loving and good to all Your works, for You are the LORD our GoD. O GoD, slow to anger and full of compassion, act with us according to Your great compassion and save us for Your name’s sake. Hear our prayer, our King, and save us from our enemies’ hands. Heed our prayer, our King, and save us from all distress and sorrow. You are our Father, our King. We are called by Your name. Do not desert us. Do not abandon us, our Father.
