For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:

The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah; Yea, I called unto my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears.

O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither hath he hid his face from him; But when he cried unto him, he heard.

And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice.

Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah

O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live.

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart.

With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee.

Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.

Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near:

And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us by means of our iniquities.

And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.

Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn ye unto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

[But this kind goeth not out save by prayer and fasting.]

Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:

but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,

and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for [us] with groanings which cannot be uttered;

and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

pray without ceasing;

I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.

Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help [us] in time of need.

Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing [unto him]; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord;

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded.

and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:

and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
