God Listens & Answers Prayers
Backgrounder on Psalms 111-118:
Praise permeates nearly every
line of these eight psalms.
God is praiseworthy for
His care of us (Psalm 111),
His commandments (Ps 112),
His glorious name (Ps 113),
His mighty power (Ps 114)
His uniqueness (Psalm 115),
His deliverance (Psalm 116),
His truth (Psalm 117) and
His tender mercy (Ps 118).
What other response could there
be thankful to Praise the Lord.
Lord, You Hear & Answer Prayers:
I love the Lord, for He Heard
my voice; He Heard my cry
for mercy. Because He turned
His ear to me, I will call on Him
as long as I live (Psalm 116:1-2).
The Lord is gracious & righteous;
our God is full of Compassion…
Be at rest… O my soul, for
the Lord has been good to you…
I believe in You, so I prayed, (for)
I am deeply troubled Lord (v5-7,10).
In my distress I prayed to the
Lord and the Lord answered me
and rescued me. The Lord is
On My Side, I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
Yes, the Lord is For me;
He will help me (Ps 118:5-7).

in knowing You Hear my prayers.
Your Word tells me You Listen
and Hear when I Call upon You.
