Psalm 28:1-2
EasyEnglish Bible

This is a song that David wrote.

God answers prayer

28 Lord, I am calling to you for help.
You are my safe place, like a high rock.[a]
    Please do not refuse to listen to me.
If you do not answer me,
    I will be like those who are going down
    into the deep hole of death.
2 Hear me when I call to you for help.
    Please be kind to me.
I am lifting up my hands
    towards your Most Holy Place.[b]

Footnotes

  1. 28:1 ‘Rock’ is a name for God. It means that God is a place where people can be safe.
  2. 28:2 When they prayed, Jews often lifted their hands up to God. Christians may do the same. Paul wrote, ‘I want people to lift up their hands and pray.’ See 1 Timothy 2:8. The Most Holy Place was the inside room of God's Temple, where the Covenant Box was.
