Hear our voice,* O LORD, according to Thy plenteous mercy, and condemn us not as the guilty, but in Thy love and mercifulness reward us as the blessed. (1.)

O GOD,* Who graciously hearest them which call upon Thee with their whole heart, be mindful of Thy mercy, and hearken unto our early prayers. (1.)

We cry unto Thee,* O LORD, that Thou mayest hear us, and suffer our eyes bent down towards the ground to approach Thee, that Thy calm brightness may shine upon us, and we ever abide in the light. (11.)
