Psalms 83, 86, 88, 91, 95

In Luke 18:1-7 Jesus told the story about a widow seeking justice from a local judge who wasn’t necessarily righteous, and He commended her for being persistent with that judge. He told that story to commend us in being persistent in our prayers before the Lord, and we see that sense in these Psalms, where David and others did not lose heart in seeking God’s face, and in begging Him to hear and answer their prayers.

O LORD, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You. Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry.
- Psalm 88:1-2 NKJV
