Don’t forget the first part of this verse. David…….waited patiently on the Lord. –“I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry”–

Father, hear our cry’s for help, yet may you give us the patience to listen carefully, to your whispering, and the Holy Spirits prompting, to discern your Truth, from Satan and the Worlds lies.
