1 Rejoicing in Answered Prayer A Psalm of David. To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock: Ps. 35:22; 39:12; 83:1 Do not be silent to me, Ps. 88:4; 143:7; Prov. 1:12 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, Ps. 5:7 When I lift up my hands Ps. 138:2 toward 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. 9:8 Who 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. 5:12 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 Ps. 18:2; 59:17 my strength and my shield; My heart Ps. 13:5; 112:7 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 Ps. 20:6 saving refuge of His anointed.
9 Save Your people, And bless (Deut. 9:29; 32:9;1 Kin. 8:51; Ps. 33:12); 106:40 Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, Deut. 1:31; Is. 63:9 And bear them up forever.
