Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
A Psalm of David.
1To 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.
2Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
⚓When I lift up my hands ⚓toward Your holy sanctuary.
3Do 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.
5Because ⚓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 Lordis⚓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.
8The Lordis their strength,
And He is the ⚓saving refuge of His anointed.
9Save Your people,
And bless ⚓Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
⚓And bear them up forever.

大卫的诗。求主帮助
1耶和华啊，我要求告你！
我的磐石啊，求你不要向我缄默！
倘若你向我闭口，
我就如下入地府的人一样。
2我呼求你，向你至圣所举手的时候，
求你垂听我恳求的声音！
3不要把我和坏人并作恶的一同除掉；
他们跟邻舍说平安，心里却是奸恶。
4求你按着他们所做的，
按他们的恶行对待他们；
求你照着他们手所做的对待他们，
将他们应得的报应加给他们。
5他们既然不尊重耶和华的作为，
也不尊重他手所做的，
耶和华就必毁坏他们，不建立他们。
6耶和华是应当称颂的，
因为他听了我恳求的声音。
7耶和华是我的力量，是我的盾牌，
我心里倚靠他就得帮助。
我心中欢乐，
我要用诗歌称谢他。
8耶和华是他百姓的力量，
又是他受膏者得救的保障。
9求你拯救你的百姓，赐福给你的产业；
求你牧养他们，扶持他们，直到永远。
