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 28:8-9

He Rejoices Because He Knows That YHWH Will Be The Protector Of All His People (Psalms 28:8-9 ). But the Psalmist is not only concerned for himself. His concern is for all God’s people. And he rejoices because what God is for him, He also is for them. He has now become one of God’s intercessors. This was in fact one of the king’s privileges. He could approach God on behalf of his people because he was a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek (Psalms 110:4). But that is also our... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 28:8

Their strength, i.e. the strength of his people, mentioned in the next verse; the relative being put before the antecedent, which is left to be gathered out of the following matter, as it is Numbers 24:17; Psalms 87:1. Or, his strength; for the Hebrew affix mo, which commonly is plural, is sometimes taken singularly; of which see my Latin Synopsis here, and on Isaiah 53:8. And his, i.e. of his anointed, as the next clause explains it. Or the words may be thus rendered, Strength is or belongs to... read more

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: 540GOD OUR SAVING STRENGTHPsalms 28:8-9. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; feed them also, and lift them up for ever!IN the Psalms of David we observe many rapid transitions from the depth of sorrow to very exalted joy. In the psalm before us, this is very remarkable; insomuch, that commentators are altogether at a loss to determine whether it was written under a state of deep affliction, out of... read more

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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 28:1-9

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 28:6-8Blessed 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 28:8My heart trusted in Him; and I am helped.The earlier and the later songThere are two actions of the heart--prophecy and memory. In the morning of life I look forward, “my heart trusted”; in the afternoon I look back, “my heart rejoiceth.” The morning trust comes before help; it is the prospect of the West seen from the crimson dawn. The afternoon joy follows help: it is the memory of the East seen from the setting sun. My heart is like the migration of the swallows. Every swallow... read more
