Hear My Cry

Hear my cry for mercy
As I petition for help
Fear does drive me crazy
I can't do this by myself!

Speak peace unto my soul
Thou art my strength and shield
I need Thee ever so
For confidence, instilled

Be not silent from me
Keep wicked hands afar
I await Thy coming
My salvation, Thou are!

I love this beautiful prayer by David, in Psalm 28!

Psalm 28

David pleads with the Lord to hear his voice and grant his petitions—David prays, Save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance.
A Psalm of David.

1 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be asilent to me, I become like them that go down into the bpit.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy aoracle.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which aspeak bpeace to their neighbours, but cmischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their adeeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their bdesert.

5 Because they regard not the aworks 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 atrusted 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.
