Psalm 28:6 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 28:6-9

In these verses, I. David gives God thanks for the audience of his prayers as affectionately as a few verses before he had begged it: Blessed be the Lord, Ps. 28:6. How soon are the saints? sorrows turned into songs and their prayers into praises! It was in faith that David prayed (Ps. 28:2), Hear the voice of my supplications; and by the same faith he gives thanks (Ps. 28:6) that God has heard the voice of his supplications. Note, 1. Those that pray in faith may rejoice in hope. ?He hath... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:6

Blessed be the Lord ,.... Which must be understood, not as invoking nor as conferring a blessing on him, neither of which can be done by a creature; nor does he stand in need of any, he being Elshaddai, God all sufficient, God over all, blessed for ever; but as ascribing all blessedness to him, congratulating his greatness and happiness, and giving him praise and glory for mercies received; and particularly for the following: because he hath heard the voice of my supplications ; what... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 28:6

Verse 6 6.Blessed be Jehovah, who hath heard. This is the second part of the psalm in which the prophet begins to give thanks to God. We have already seen how he employed himself in prayer in the midst of his dangers; and now by this thanksgiving he teaches us that his prayers were not in vain. Thus he confirms by his own example, that God is ready to bring help to his people whenever they seek him in truth and sincerity. He declares the same truth more fully in the next verse, calling God his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

Providence and prayer. The contents of this psalm are in some respects similar to the contents of others already noticed. But there is one peculiarity about it to which we here propose to devote special attention. It is seen in the psalmist's prayer against his enemies. On account of such petitions, much reproach has been cast on the Bible itself—as if all the sixty-six books of which the Scriptures are composed were to be held responsible for the prayers and petitions of every Old... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

Man's cry and God's response. In this psalm we find— I. MAN 'S CRY TO GOD . ( Psalms 28:1-5 .) Prayer is an instinct of the heart. Man cries to man. There is a bond of brotherhood between all men. The simple fact that a brother is in need gives him a claim to help. Friend cries to friend. The nearer our relationships, the deeper our obligations. The child cries to its lather. Whatever may be the conduct of others, we are sure that parents will do what they can for their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

The oppressed righteous king. It is the king who speaks, whose cause is identical with that of the people. Difference between this and the twenty-sixth psalm. The ground-thought of both is that God will not involve in the same outward fate those who are inwardly different; and that the lot of the wicked cannot be the same as that of the righteous. But there it is the oppressed individual righteous man that speaks; here it is the oppressed righteous king speaking for himself and his... read more

Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications (comp. Psalms 28:2 , with which this is, of set purpose, made exactly to correspond). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 28:6-9

As, midway in Psalms 27:1-14 ; the tone changed from jubilation to humble entreaty, so, midway in the present psalm, there is a change from plaintive and humble entreaty to rejoicing and thanksgiving. The cause of the change would seem to have been a confident assurance, arising out of the very act of prayer, that the prayer is heard and granted, so that the happy results prayed for are certain to follow. Such an assurance is certainly not attained by all those whose supplications are... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 28:6

Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications - This is one of those passages which frequently occur in the Psalms, when there has been an earnest and anxious prayer offered to God, and when the answer to the prayer seems to be immediate. The mind of the anxious and troubled pleader becomes calm; the promises of God are brought directly to the soul; the peace which was sought is obtained; and he who began the psalm with deep anxiety and trouble of mind, rejoices at... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 28:6-7

Psalms 28:6-7. Blessed be the Lord, &c. How soon are the sorrows of the saints turned into joy, and their prayers into praises! It was in faith David prayed, Psalms 28:2, Hear the voice of my supplication, and by the same faith he now gives thanks that God had heard his voice They that pray in faith may rejoice in hope. My heart trusteth in him, and I am helped God had in part heard and answered him already; and, it seems, had assured him by his Spirit that he would more fully... read more
