Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

INTRODUCTIONHitsig and others have assigned this psalm to Jeremiah, but there does not seem to be thy sufficient reason for questioning the traditional title which gives it to David. It may have been composed before he became king in Jerusalem, or at the time of Absalom’s rebellion. It consists of two divisions. After earnestly entreating audience (Psalms 28:1-2), the psalmist prays that he may not be confounded with the wicked in their just punishment (Psalms 28:3-5). He then gives thanks for... read more

DISCOURSE: 539ADORING GOD FOR HIS MERCIESPsalms 28:7. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.THE man of this world delights to speak of the things of this world: the man of God delights to speak of God: each speaketh out of the abundance of his own heart.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

Psalms 28:1-9 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent, I become like those that have gone down into the pit. Hear my voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle ( Psalms 28:1-2 ).So David in his prayer had those times when he lifted up his hands towards God.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. Give to... read more

Psalms 28:5 . He shall destroy them, and not build them up. David often foresaw that Saul’s army and party would perish in war. This prayer, Psalms 28:4-5, is in unison with the forms of prayer used in christian churches for their sovereigns in times of war and danger; “giving him the victory over all his enemies.” Yet we are not allowed to pray against but for our opposers. Psalms 28:8 . The Lord is their strength. The LXX, the strength of his people. REFLECTIONS. This prayer of David... read more

Psalms 28:1-7Unto Thee will I cry, O Lord my Rock. The prayer of a saint in distressI. He prays that God would graciously hear and answer him now that, in his distress, he called upon him (Psalms 28:1-2). Observe--1. His faith in prayer. “O Lord, my rock.”2. His fervency in prayer. “Unto Thee will I cry”--as one in earnest, being ready to sink unless Thou come in with seasonable succour.3. How solicitous he is to obtain an answer. “Be not silent to me.”4. His plea.(1) The sad despair he should... read more

Psalms 28:6-8Blessed be the Lord, because He hath heard.A thanksgiving truly inspiredThese verses throw light upon the religious experience of the psalmist, and from them we learn--I. That his experience testified of answers to his prayer. There are two ways in which God answers prayer--1. Sometimes by granting the thing sought. Thus the prayers of Elijah, Moses, Hezekiah, were often answered, and thus the prayers of His people, in all ages, have sometimes been answered.2. Sometimes by endowing... read more

Psalms 28:7The Lord is my strength and my shield.A sacred soloNote in the three sentences-there is in each that which is inward and that which is outward. “The Lord is my strength”--that is inward; “My shield”--that is outward. “My heart trusted in Him--inward; “I am helped”--outward. “My heart greatly rejoiceth”--inward; “With my song will I praise Him”--outward. It teaches us that truth and beauty of form are to be linked together: to be holy we need not to be uncouth. Slovenly preaching,... read more
