Asking God 2009

Psalms 86:1-6 (King James Version)

1
Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am
poor and needy.
2
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God,
save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee
daily.
4
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O
Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and
plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6
Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to
the voice of my supplications.
