And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
I said, LORD, be merciful unto 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 early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
