And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; For I have sinned against thee.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
