18:6 In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried out to my God.
From his heavenly temple

22:24 For he did not despise or detest the suffering

when he cried out to him, he responded.

the terrifying news that comes from every direction.
When they plot together against me,
they figure out how they can take my life.
31:22 I jumped to conclusions and said,
“I am cut off from your presence!”
But you heard my plea for mercy when I cried out to you for help.
39:12 Hear my prayer, O Lord!
Listen to my cry for help!

I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were.

and do not fear God.
85:8 I will listen to what God the Lord says.
For he will make
Yet they must not
The prayer of an oppressed man, as he grows faint and pours out his lament before the Lord.
102:1 O Lord, hear my prayer!
Pay attention to my cry for help!
143:8 May I hear about your loyal love in the morning,
for I trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
because I long for you.
