Psalm 28:6

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

Psalms 26-28 Living uprightlyDavid appeals to God to support him against those who plot evil against him. God has done a work of grace in his life, and this causes him to hate the company of worthless people and make every effort to live the sort of life that pleases God (26:1-5). He desires righteousness, delights in worship, loves to spend hours in the house of God and enjoys telling others about God (6-8). He therefore asks that he will not suffer the same end as the wicked (9-10). Though... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 28:6

"Blessed is Jehovah,Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.Jehovah is my strength and my shield;My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped;Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;And with my song will I praise him.""He hath heard the voice of my supplications" (Psalms 28:6). This man, when he stood praying, believed that he had what he asked, and, so, believing, had it. There was no change in circumstances, but he was changed. Now there was no fear of going down into the pit, and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 28:1-9

Psalms 28This psalm is similar to Psalms 26, except that in this one, David’s distress was imminent. He believed God would not punish him with the wicked, and he asked Him to save and shepherd His people. The combination of confidence in Yahweh and prayer to Yahweh, that appears in Psalms 27, appears again here but in reverse order. Psalms 28:1-5 are lament, and Psalms 28:6-9 are thanksgiving. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 28:6-8

Consequently, David praised the Lord. He believed God had heard his prayer because the Lord had promised to hear the prayers of the godly. The Lord was David’s source of strength and defense, so he knew his attackers would fail. Furthermore, Yahweh consistently saved and defended His people and His anointed king. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 28:1-9

This Ps. is in many respects similar to Psalms 26, especially in the writer’s prayer that he may be distinguished from the wicked, and may escape their fate; and in the confidence which he reaches in the closing verses. In this Ps., however, the peril of death appears more acute (Psalms 28:1), and some have supposed that both Pss. were written in a time of pestilence.1. The pit] the grave, or Sheol, the state of the dead. Unless his prayer is heard he looks for nothing less than death. 2. Thy... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 28:6

(6) This burst of thanksgiving, breaking in on the poet’s prayer, has led to the supposition that an interval elapsed between the composition of the former part of the psalm and this verse, and that the writer takes up his pen to record the answer his supplications have received. Others regard the psalm as composed by the union of two distinct pieces. Others again treat Psalms 28:6 as an interpolation. It certainly seems discordant with the rhythm as well as with the sense of the rest. read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

Psalms 28:1-9THE unquestionable resemblances to Psalms 26:1-12 scarcely require that this should be considered its companion. The differences are as obvious as the likenesses. While the prayer "Draw me not away with the wicked" and the characterisation of these are alike in both, the further emphatic prayer for retribution here and the closing half of this psalm have nothing corresponding to them in the other. This psalm is built on the familiar plan of groups of two verses each, with the... read more

Psalms 28:0 Prayer For Judgment and Praise For the Answer 1. Prayer for judgment (Psalms 28:1-5 ) 2. Praise for the answer (Psalms 28:6-9 ) Psalms 28:1-5 . Their cry now increaseth because of their enemies, the enemies of Israel in the last days. They breathe out cruelty to them (Psalms 27:12 ). They pass through the valley of the shadow of death and if He does not answer and remains silent they be like those that go down to the pit. Hence the imprecatory prayer, “Give them according to... read more
