James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 28:6-9

Here is a sweet hosanna. It was first sung by Christ, and may be well sung by all his redeemed in him. Reader, do not overtook the benediction in the close of it. Is not this another view of Jesus? Remember how Aaron was commanded to bless the people, as a type of Christ, in his everlasting priesthood. Numbers 6:22 , etc. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:6

Shall reduce them to pieces, &c. In Hebrew, shall make them to skip like a calf. The psalmist here describes the effects of thunder, (which he calls the voice of the Lord) which sometimes breaks down the tallest and strongest trees; and makes their broken branches skip, &c. All this is to be understood mystically, of the powerful voice of God's word in his Church; which has broke the pride of the great ones of this world, and brought many of them meekly and joyfully to submit their... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 28:6-9

6-9 Has God heard our supplications? Let us then bless his name. The Lord is my strength, to support me, and carry me on through all my services and sufferings. The heart that truly believes, shall in due time greatly rejoice: we are to expect joy and peace in believing. God shall have the praise of it: thus must we express our gratitude. The saints rejoice in others' comfort as well as their own: we have the less benefit from the light of the sun, nor from the light of God's countenance, for... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 28:1-9

Prayer and Comfort in Times of Rebellion. A psalm of David, written in similar circumstances as the two foregoing ones, his heart apparently being so full that his mouth was bound to speak, David in this case including himself with the people of God in praying against the oppression of the wicked and the unbelievers. v. 1. Unto Thee will I cry, once more with importunate earnestness, O Lord, my Rock, his impregnable Stronghold, Psalms 18:2. Be not silent to me, being deaf to his prayer and... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 28:1-9

Psalms 28:0A Psalm of David1 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock;Be not silent to me:Lest, if thou be silent to me,I become like them that go down into the pit.2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee,When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity,Which speak peace to their neighbors,But mischief is in their hearts.4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

a Prayer and Its Answer Psalms 28:1-9 This psalm also probably belongs to the time of Absalom’s rebellion. Psalms 28:2-3 resemble Psalms 26:8-9 . God is silent sometimes because He loves us unspeakably, Zephaniah 3:17 , r.v., margin; sometimes to test our faith, Matthew 15:23 ; sometimes because He has already spoken and we have not listened, Matthew 26:62 . But let us never go elsewhere for help, 1 Samuel 28:6-7 . Let us wait and pray, lifting up our hands in the dark to touch His hands.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 28:1-9

The affinity between this psalm and the previous one is evident and its placing by the editor here was in all likelihood due to that fact. InPsalms 27:1-14; Psalms 27:1-14, in true order, praise prepares for, and issues in, prayer, the whole ending in an appeal to "wait on Jehovah." The next psalm opens-Unto Thee, O Jehovah, will I call. This is not to suggest that the song was written by the same person or immediately. It rather affords an illustration of a song written by one who acted on... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 28:6-7

He Rejoices Because He Knows That YHWH Has Heard Him And Will Be His Strength (Psalms 28:6-7 ). His thoughts now become more positive. The negative was necessary, but now he begins to look upward. He has prayed through to a point of confidence and faith. And the more he prays the greater his faith. (‘This kind goes out only through prayer’ - Mark 9:29, for it is prayer that produces growth in faith). Psalms 28:6 ‘Blessed be YHWH, because he has heard The voice of my supplications.’ He begins... read more
