22
and at whose command they are changed to wind and fire, whose word is sure and whose utterances are certain, whose command is strong and whose ordinance is terrible,
23
whose look dries up the depths and whose indignation makes the mountains melt away, and whose truth is established forever—
24
hear, O Lord, the prayer of your servant, and give ear to the petition of your creature; attend to my words.
25
For as long as I live I will speak, and as long as I have understanding I will answer.
26
O do not look on the sins of your people, but on those who serve you in truth.
