Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

Verse 2 is found in chapter 88 of Psalms. Psalm 88 is one of the darkest laments in the Psalter and ends without an explicit resolution. The petitioner is near death, isolated from friends, and surrounded by affliction. Precisely for this reason it is theologically significant: biblical prayer allows an experience to be brought before God even when no explanation or visible restoration has yet appeared. The continued cry to the Lord keeps the relationship open even within darkness.

HERR, Gott, mein Heiland, ich schreie Tag und Nacht vor dir.
Entre mi oración en tu presencia: Inclina tu oído a mi clamor.
Que mi oración llegue a tu presencia; inclina tu oído a mi clamor.
Que ma prière parvienne en ta présence! Prête l'oreille à mes supplications!
Venga la mia orazione in tua presenza; Inchina il tuo orecchio al mio grido.
Chegue a minha oração perante a tua face, inclina os teus ouvidos ao meu clamor;
願我的禱告達到你面前, 求你側耳聽我的懇求!
