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.
Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
(C)When I lift up my hands(D)toward Your holy sanctuary.

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.
(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.
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.

BlessedbetheLord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
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.

TheLordis[b]their strength,
And Heisthe(J)saving refuge of His[c]anointed.
Save Your people,
And bless(K)Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
(L)And bear them up forever.
