O God, my vindicator! Answer me when I call! When I was distressed, you set me free; now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

Listen to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I pray to you.

Adonai has heard my pleading, Adonai will accept my prayer.

A prayer of David: Hear a just cause, Adonai, heed my cry; listen to my prayer from honest lips.

But my prayer, in righteousness, is to see your face; on waking, may I be satisfied with a vision of you.

You give him his heart’s desire; you don’t refuse the prayer from his lips. (Selah)

Hear the sound of my prayers when I cry to you, when I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.

Blessed be Adonai, for he heard my voice as I prayed for mercy.

This is what everyone faithful should pray at a time when you can be found. Then, when the floodwaters are raging, they will not reach to him.

But I, when they were ill, wore sackcloth; I put myself out and fasted; I can pray that what I prayed for them might also happen to me.

Hear my prayer, Adonai, listen to my cry, don’t be deaf to my weeping; for with you, I am just a traveler passing through, like all my ancestors.

By day Adonai commands his grace, and at night his song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.

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

Listen, God, to my prayer! Don’t hide yourself from my plea!

Hear my cry, God; listen to my prayer.

You who listen to prayer, to you all living creatures come.

But in fact, God did listen; he paid attention to my prayer.

Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer or turn his grace away from me.

As for me, Adonai, let my prayer to you come at an acceptable time; In your great grace, God, answer me with the truth of your salvation.

May [the king] live long! May they give him gold from the land of Sh’va! May they pray for him continually; yes, bless him all day long.

This completes the prayers of David the son of Yishai.

Adonai, God of armies, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?

Adonai, God of armies, hear my prayer; listen, God of Ya‘akov. (Selah)

A prayer of David: Listen, Adonai, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Listen, Adonai, to my prayer; pay attention to my pleading cry.

let my prayer come before you, turn your ear to my cry for help!

But I cry out to you, Adonai; my prayer comes before you in the morning.

Book IV: Psalms 90–106

A prayer of Moshe the man of God: Adonai, you have been our dwelling place in every generation.

Prayer of a sufferer overcome by weakness and pouring out his complaint before Adonai:

Adonai, hear my prayer! Let my cry for help reach you!

when he has heeded the plea of the poor and not despised their prayer.

In return for my love they became my accusers, even though I prayed for them.

I love that Adonai heard my voice when I prayed;

Let my prayer come before you; in keeping with your promise, rescue me.

Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim; may those who love you prosper.

Let my prayer be like incense set before you, my uplifted hands like an evening sacrifice.

Let the righteous strike me, let him correct me; it will be an act of love. Let my head not refuse such choice oil, for I will keep on praying about their wickedness.

A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer:

A psalm of David: Adonai, hear my prayer; listen to my pleas for mercy. In your faithfulness, answer me, and in your righteousness.
