49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and [b]judge their cause,

50 And be merciful unto thy people that have sinned against thee, and unto all their iniquities (wherein they have transgressed against thee) and cause that they which led them away captives, may [c]have pity and compassion on them.
