# Psalm 28 (New King James Version)
Rejoicing in Answered Prayer

##### Chapter 28
###### 1 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:  
Do not be silent to me,  
Lest, 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,  
When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

###### 3 Do not take me away with the wicked  
And with the workers of iniquity,  
Who speak peace to their neighbors,  
But evil _is_ in their hearts.  

###### 4 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 they 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 Lord _is_ my strength and my shield;  
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;  
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,  
And with my song I will praise Him.

###### 8 The Lord _is_ their strength,  
And He _is_ the saving refuge of His anointed.  

###### 9 Save Your people,  
And bless Your inheritance;  
Shepherd them also,  
And bear them up forever.
