Additions to Esther 3:10

ἐπάκουσον τῆς δεήσεώς μου καὶ ἱλάσθητι τῷ κλήρῳ σου καὶ στρέψον τὸ πένθος ἡμῶν εἰς εὐωχίαν, ἵνα ζῶντες ὑμνῶμέν σου τὸ ὄνομα, Κύριε, καὶ μὴ ἀφανίσῃς στόμα αἰνούντων σε, Κύριε.
King James Version (KJV)

Hear my prayer, and be merciful unto thine inheritance: turn our sorrow into joy, that we may live, O Lord, and praise thy name: and destroy not the mouths of them that praise thee, O Lord.

Modern English

"Hear my prayer, have mercy on your inheritance, and turn our mourning into feasting, so that living, we may sing praise to your name, Lord, and do not silence the mouths of those who praise you, Lord."
