Rejoicing in Answered Prayer

A Psalm of David.

28 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
(A)Do not be silent to me,
(B)Lest, if You are silent 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 evil is in 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 the Lord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.

Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
The Lord is (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.

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

  3. Psalm 28:8 Commissioned one, Heb. messiah

28 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Señor, tú eres mi roca

Canción de David.

SEÑOR, tú eres mi roca.
    A ti te pido ayuda, no te me hagas el sordo.
Es que si callas,
    yo seré como el resto de los que han muerto y han bajado al sepulcro.
Elevo mis manos hacia tu templo santo.
    Escúchame cuando te llamo,
    ten compasión de mí.
No me castigues como a pecador,
    como a quien hace maldad,
como a quien habla de paz con sus semejantes
    mientras planea hacerles mal.
A ellos dales el castigo que se merecen;
    castígalos devolviéndoles el mal que planean hacer a otros.
Hazles lo que le han hecho a otros;
    dales el castigo que se merecen.
El SEÑOR los destruirá
    y no les dará otra oportunidad
porque ellos ni siquiera tratan de entender
    todas sus obras maravillosas.

Bendito sea el SEÑOR
    porque ha respondido a mis súplicas.
El SEÑOR me da fortaleza y es mi escudo.
    Mi corazón está dichoso porque él me ayudó,
    y ahora lo alabo con mis canciones.

El SEÑOR le da fortaleza a su pueblo
    y protege a su rey elegido.
Salva a tu pueblo.
    Bendice a los tuyos,
    guíalos y cuídalos para siempre.
