Pray is a verb that means to speak to a deity, to ask earnestly for help, or to express a strong hope about a situation. Prey is most often a noun referring to an animal that another creature hunts for food, or a person who is targeted by a dishonest scheme. Prey can also function as a verb in the phrase prey on, which means to hunt, harm, or take advantage of someone vulnerable.
