^2 (A)Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
    when I cry to you for help,
when I ^(B)lift up my hands
    ^(C)towards your most holy sanctuary.^[a]

²² I had said in my ^(A)alarm,^[a]
    “I am ^(B)cut off from ^(C)your sight.”
But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy
    when I cried to you for help.

²     O Lord, hear my voice!
^(A)Let your ears be attentive
    to ^(B)the voice of my pleas for mercy!
