TSK · Isaiah 38:3

The Judgment of the Flood This is the account of Noah. Noah was a godly man; he was blameless among his contemporaries. He walked with God.

Do whatever is proper and good before the LORD so that it may go well with you and that you may enter and occupy the good land that he promised your ancestors,

and the LORD will fulfill his promise to me,‘If your descendants watch their step and live faithfully in my presence with all their heart and being, then,’ he promised,‘you will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’

He did what the LORD approved, just as his ancestor David had done.

The people were delighted with their donations, for they contributed to the LORD with a willing attitude; King David was also very happy.

Certainly the LORD watches the whole earth carefully and is ready to strengthen those who are devoted to him. You have acted foolishly in this matter; from now on you will have war.”

When I heard these things I sat down abruptly, crying and mourning for several days. I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

I also provided for the wood offering at the appointed times and also for the first fruits. Please remember me for good, O my God.

Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping!

The LORD repaid me for my godly deeds; he rewarded my blameless behavior.

For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me.

I will walk in the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will conduct my business with integrity in the midst of my palace.

May I be fully committed to your statutes, so that I might not be ashamed.

During his earthly life Christ offered both requests and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his devotion.
