Psalms

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

And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
