Hear the voice and prayer of thy servants,  
Hear the voice and prayer of thy servants,  
that they make before thee this day.  
that they make before thee this day.

ever toward this place, of which thou hast said:  
ever toward this place, of which thou hast said:  
"My Name shall be there."  
"My Name shall be there."  
And when thou hearest have mercy on them.
And when thou hearest have mercy on them.}}

Hear the voice and prayer of thy servants,
that they make before thee this day.
That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day,
ever toward this place, of which thou hast said:
"My Name shall be there."
And when thou hearest have mercy on them.
