Psalm 28:1-3
To You I call, O Lord my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I shall be like those who have gone down to the pit. Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands, towards Your most Holy Place. Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbours but harbour malice in their hearts.
God hears our cries for help.

Psalm 28:6-9
Praise be to the Lord, for He has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusts in him and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless your inheritance be their shepherd and carry them for ever.

Just as David needed God's pardon for sin, defence and guidance,so do we. We need to let God show us the way and to lead us along the right path, to also trust and have hope in Him
in everything we do.
