'Prayers' in the Bible

Surely God has heard, and he paid attention to my prayers.

Blessed be God, who did not turn away my prayers nor his gracious love from me. To the Director of music: Accompanied by stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.

This ends the prayers of Jesse's son David. A song of Asaph.

LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, when will your smoldering anger toward your people's prayers cease?

Let one who is righteous strike me; It is an act of gracious love. Let him rebuke me, because it is oil for my head; do not let my head refuse it. My prayers continuously will be against their wicked activities.
