'Prayer' in the Bible

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic psalm.Answer me when I call,God, who vindicates me.You freed me from affliction;be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

The Lord has heard my plea for help;the Lord accepts my prayer.

A Davidic prayer.Lord, hear a just cause;pay attention to my cry;listen to my prayer—from lips free of deceit.

Yet when they were sick,my clothing was sackcloth;I humbled myself with fasting,and my prayer was genuine.

The Lord will send His faithful love by day;His song will be with me in the night—a prayer to the God of my life.

God, hear my prayer;listen to the words of my mouth.

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic Maskil.God, listen to my prayerand do not ignore my plea for help.

All humanity will come to You,the One who hears prayer.

However, God has listened;He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.

Let the righteous one strike me—it is an act of faithful love;let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;let me not refuse it.Even now my prayer is againstthe evil acts of the wicked.

A Davidic psalm.Lord, hear my prayer.In Your faithfulness listen to my plea,and in Your righteousness answer me.
