24
Hear your servant's voice and listen to my request, the request of one whom you formed, and listen to my words.
25

26
Don't pay attention to your people's sins but to those who have served you in truth.
27
Don't consider those who do evil by sinning but those who have kept your covenants in the midst of torments.
