21
Whose throne is inestimable; whose glory may not be comprehended; before whom the hosts of angels stand with trembling,
22
Whose service is conversant in wind and fire; whose word is true, and sayings constant; whose commandment is strong, and ordinance fearful;
23
Whose look drieth up the depths, and indignation maketh the mountains to melt away; which the truth witnesseth:
24
O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature.
25
For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer.
26
O look not upon the sins of thy people; but on them which serve thee in truth.
27
Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions.
28
Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before thee: but remember them, which according to thy will have known thy fear.
29
Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law.
30
Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed worse than beasts; but love them that always put their trust in thy righteousness and glory.
31
For we and our fathers do languish of such diseases: but because of us sinners thou shalt be called merciful.
