Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
A Psalm of David.
1 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
aDo not be silent to me,
bLest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
aDo not be silent to me,
bLest, 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,
aWhen I lift up my hands btoward Your holy sanctuary.
When I cry to You,
aWhen I lift up my hands btoward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not1 take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
aWho speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.
And with the workers of iniquity,
aWho speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.
4 aGive 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.
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 athey do not regard the works of the Lord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.
