2 Nephi 4:32, 33, 35

2 Nephi 4:32

May the gates of hell be shut continually before me,

because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite!

O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me,

that I may walk in the path of the low valley,

that I may be strict in the plain road!

2 Nephi 4:33

O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness!

O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape before mine enemies!

Wilt thou make my path straight before me!

Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way —

but that thou wouldst clear my way before me,

and hedge not up my way, but the ways of mine enemy.

2 Nephi 4:35

Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh.

Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss;

therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee;

yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness.

Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee,

my rock and mine everlasting God.

Amen.
