A Prayer for Help and Praise for Its Answer |
|
| 1 |
Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock;
| | |
be not silent to me: |
|
lest, if thou be silent to me, |
|
I become like them that go down into the pit. |
|
|
| 2 |
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee,
| | |
when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. |
|
|
| 3 |
Draw me not away with the wicked,
| | |
and with the workers of iniquity, |
|
which speak peace to their neighbors, |
|
but mischief is in their hearts. |
|
|
| 4 |
Give them according to their deeds, Rev. 22.12
| | |
and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: |
|
give them after the work of their hands; |
|
render to them their desert. |
|
|
| 5 |
Because they regard not 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 hath 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 rejoiceth; |
|
and with my song will I praise him. |
|
|
| 8 |
The LORD is their strength,
| | |
and he is the saving strength of his anointed. |
|
|
| 9 |
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:
| | |
feed them also, and lift them up for ever. |
|
|
