^18 (A)O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see ^(B)our desolations, and ^(C)the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy.

^29 (A)that your eyes may be open night and day towards this house, the place of which you have said, ^(B)‘My name shall be there’, that you may listen to the prayer that your servant offers towards this place.

⁴⁰ Now, O my God, ^(A)let your eyes be open ^(B)and your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.
