Psalm 28-29

New King James Version

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.
²Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
^(C)When I lift up my hands ^(D)toward Your holy sanctuary.

³Do 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.
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.
⁵Because ^(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.

⁶Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
⁷The 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.

⁸The Lord is ^[b]their strength,
And He is the ^(J)saving refuge of His ^[c]anointed.
⁹Save Your people,
And bless ^(K)Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
^(L)And bear them up forever.

Praise to God in His Holiness and Majesty

A Psalm of David.

29 Give^[d] ^(M)unto the Lord, O you mighty ones,
Give unto the Lord glory and strength.
²^[e]Give unto the Lord the glory ^[f]due to His name;
Worship the Lord in ^(N)the ^[g]beauty of holiness.

³The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
^(O)The God of glory thunders;
The Lord is over many waters.
⁴The voice of the Lord is powerful;
The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵The voice of the Lord breaks ^(P)the cedars,
Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶^(Q)He makes them also skip like a calf,
Lebanon and ^(R)Sirion like a young wild ox.
⁷The voice of the Lord ^[h]divides the flames of fire.

⁸The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the Wilderness of ^(S)Kadesh.
⁹The voice of the Lord makes the ^(T)deer give birth,
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

¹⁰The ^(U)Lord sat enthroned at the Flood,
And ^(V)the Lord sits as King forever.
¹¹^(W)The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.
