Psalms 18:41

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

It will happen, when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “Such as are for death, to death; such as are for the sword, to the sword; such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.” ’

While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’s.

They looked, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness.

For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who gives birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, “Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.”

To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”

Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!

He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and Yahweh will not answer you in that day.”

There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.

“Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”

Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”

They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.

Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”

It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;

When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
