Good Day,
Psalm 28 -New International Version (NIV)
1 To you, Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.

For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.

4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
6 Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 Lord is my strength and my shield;The
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.

Psalm 28 Commentary:
In verse one, David is crying out to God for help and mercy; he puts his case before God and tells him all of his troubles. He asks God to hear Him. I am not sure how long it took David to allow God to turn his sadness to joy, his unbelief to belief, and his distrust to trust, but by verses seven and eight, David is rejoicing in God because he has heard his cry! Folks, rest assured God hears our cries. We just have to remember that His time frame may not be what we want, but God is always on time! So, remember that!
