Psalms

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
