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 28:8

"Jehovah is their strength, and he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever""Stronghold ... to his anointed" (Psalms 28:8). Addis stated that "anointed" in this passage may refer, "Either to the king or to the high priests."[22] This is true enough, of course; but as Dahood noted, in this passage, "The reference is to the King."[23]"Here David builds upon the fact that he is God's anointed, that he... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 28:8

Psalms 28:8. The Lord is their strength— The Lord is his guard; even he himself is the triumphant guard of his anointed. So Mudge; who observes, that the words are evidently spoken by the people, or priests, returning the words which the king had just before used. Houbigant renders it, The Lord is the strength of his people; and indeed our translation, as it now stands, plainly refers to the people in the next verse. 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
