commandments:

ear now be
attentive, and thine
eyes
open, that thou mayest
hear the
prayer of thy
servant, which I
pray
before thee
now,
day and

turn unto me, and
keep my
commandments, and
do them; though there were of you cast

bring them unto the
place that I have
chosen to
set my
name there.

prosper, I pray thee, thy
servant this
day, and
grant him
mercy in the
sight of this
man. For I was the
king's
cupbearer.
