Salmos 28

Rejoicing in Answered Prayer

A Psalm of David.

1 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:

*Ps. 35:22; 39:12; 83:1Do not be silent to me,

*Ps. 88:4; 143:7; Prov. 1:12Lest, 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,

*Ps. 5:7When I lift up my hands *Ps. 138:2toward Your holy sanctuary.

3 Do not take me away with the wicked

And with the workers of iniquity,

*Ps. 12:2; 55:21; 62:4; Jer. 9:8Who speak peace to their neighbors,

But evil is in their hearts.

4 *(Ps. 62:12); 2 Tim. 4:14; (Rev. 18:6; 22:12)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 *Is. 5:12they 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 Lordis*Ps. 18:2; 59:17my strength and my shield;

My heart *Ps. 13:5; 112:7trusted in Him, and I am helped;

Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,

And with my song I will praise Him.

8 The Lordis their strength,

And He is the *Ps. 20:6saving refuge of His anointed.

9 Save Your people,

And bless *(Deut. 9:29; 32:9; 1 Kin. 8:51; Ps. 33:12); 106:40Your inheritance;

Shepherd them also,

*Deut. 1:31; Is. 63:9And bear them up forever.
