LORD my God, I am your servant. Listen to my prayer, and grant the requests I make to you today.

I thought I had been banished from your presence and would never see your holy Temple again.

When I felt my life slipping away, then, O LORD, I prayed to you, and in your holy Temple you heard me.

The LORD is in his holy Temple; let everyone on earth be silent in his presence.

You have not paid any wages to those who work in your fields. Listen to their complaints! The cries of those who gather in your crops have reached the ears of God, the Lord Almighty.
