Psalm 28 Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
Psalm 28:1-9 Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
A Psalm of David.
Psalm 28:1-2
1 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
Do not be silent to me,
Lest, 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,
When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
Psalm 28:3-5
3
Do not take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
Who speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.
4
Give 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 they do not regard the works of the Lord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.
Psalm 28:6-7
6
Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
Psalm 28:8-9
8
The Lord is their strength (the strength of His people),
And He is the saving refuge of His anointed (Commissioned One, Hebrew: Messiah).
9
Save Your people,
And bless Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
And bear them up forever.
