Hear my Prayer, O Lord

"Hear, and O Lord and answer me,
  for I am poor and needy.
 Guard my life for I am devoted to You.
 You are my Lord ; save Your servant
  who trusts in You.
Have mercy on me, O Lord,
  for I call to you all day long.
Bring joy to Your servant,
  for to You , O Lord
I lift up my soul.

You are  forgiving and good , O Lord,
abounding in love to all who call to You.
Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my cry for mercy,
 In the day of my trouble I will call to you
for you will answer me.
                          (Psalm 86:1-7)
