Psalm 28

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:7

Fire. Lightning, which deals destruction around. (Calmet) --- The Holy Ghost appeared in the form of parted tongues of fire, to enable the apostles to convert the desert of the Gentile world, and the Jews, represented by the desert of Cades, (Worthington) which was near their country, (Haydock) on the frontiers of Idumea, Numbers xiii. 27. (Calmet) --- Holy orders were instituted by Christ, to confer grace to the sacred ministers, according to their different stations or exigencies;... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:9

PSALM XXVIII. (AFFERTE DOMINO.) An invitation to glorify God, with a commemoration of his mighty works. Prepareth. Hebrew, "delivereth," as a midwife (St. Jerome, 5 Edition, Aquila) "maketh the hinds to calve;" (Protestants; Haydock) or "to leap, (from eul; Berthier) or frighteneth." Hinds are supposed to bring forth with great difficulty. But the reverse seems to be the case. (St. Chrysostom in Job xxxix. 3.) (Calmet) --- They are very swift, and trample serpents under their feet, nature... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:10

Dwell. Chaldean explains this of the deluge, which continued a long while upon the earth, to punish mankind. Hebrew may also signify, "the Lord sitteth upon the flood," or clouds, as the Lord of nature. --- Strength, or abundant rain, (Josue xxxviii. 6.) with all other blessings; (Calmet) making his people as terrible to their enemies as the storm which has been described. (Menochius) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 28:1-5

1-5 David is very earnest in prayer. Observe his faith in prayer; God is my rock, on whom I build my hope. Believers should not rest till they have received some token that their prayers are heard. He prays that he may not be numbered with the wicked. Save me from being entangled in the snares they have laid for me. Save me from being infected with their sins, and from doing as they do. Lord, never leave me to use such arts of deceit and treachery for my safety, as they use for my ruin.... 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'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
