3 Do ye remember to have read what Zenos, the prophet of old, has said
concerning prayer or worship?
4 For he said: Thou art merciful, O God, for thou hast heard my prayer, even when I was in the
wilderness; exceeding yea, thou wast merciful when I prayed concerning those who were mine enemies, and thou didst turn them
to me.
5 Yea, O God, and thou wast merciful unto me when I did cry unto thee in my field; when I did cry
unto thee in my prayer, and thou didst hear me.
6 And again, O God, when I did turn to my house thou didst hear me in my prayer.
7 And when I did turn unto my closet, O Lord, and prayed unto thee, thou didst hear me.
8 Yea, thou art merciful unto thy children when they cry unto thee, to be heard of thee and not
of men, and thou wilt hear them.
9 Yea, O God, thou hast been merciful unto me, and heard my cries in the midst of thy
congregations.
10 Yea, and thou hast also heard me when I have been cast out and have been despised by mine
enemies; exceeding yea, thou didst hear my cries, and wast angry with mine enemies, and thou didst visit them in
thine anger with speedy destruction.
11 And thou didst hear me because of mine afflictions and my sincerity; and it is because of thy
Son that thou hast been thus merciful unto me, therefore I will cry unto thee in all mine afflictions, for in
thee is my joy; for thou hast turned thy judgments away from me, because of thy Son.
