Psalm 28New King James Version
Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
A Psalmof David.
28 To You I will cry, OLordmy Rock:
(A)Do not be silent to me,
(B)Lest, if Youaresilent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
(C)When I lift up my hands(D)toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not[a]take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
(E)Who speak peace to their neighbors,
But evilisin their hearts.
4 (F)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(G)they do not regard the works of theLord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.
6 BlessedbetheLord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7 TheLordis(H)my strength and my shield;
My heart(I)trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
8 TheLordis[b]their strength,
And Heisthe(J)saving refuge of His[c]anointed.
9 Save Your people,
And bless(K)Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
(L)And bear them up forever.
