Psalm 28


Rejoicing in Answered Prayer

A Psalm of David.

To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
aDo not be silent to me,
bLest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.

2
Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
aWhen I lift up my hands btoward Your holy sanctuary.


3
Do not 1take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
aWho speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.

4
aGive them according to their deeds,
And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
Give them according to the work of their hands;
Render to them what they deserve.

5
Because athey do not regard the works of the Lord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.


6
Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!

7
The Lord is amy strength and my shield;
My heart btrusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.


8
The Lord is 1their strength,
And He is the asaving refuge of His 2anointed.

9
Save Your people,
And bless aYour inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
bAnd bear them up forever.
