The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 28:7

The Lord is my Strength and my Shield (see Psalms 18:1 , Psalms 18:2 ; Psalms 119:114 ). My heart trusted in him, and I am helped . As far as feeling goes, David is already "helped." He feels himself delivered out of his peril. Therefore, he says, my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song—literally, out of my song , which is explained to mean "out of my store of song"—will I praise him. He is ready to offer thanksgiving for a mercy not yet received. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 28:8

The Lord is their Strength ; i.e. the Strength, not of himself alone, but of the whole people. The deliverance will be as much for their sake as for his. And he is the saving strength of his anointed —literally, and a Stronghold of salvation to his anointed is HE . The welfare of David and that of the people are bound up together. God strengthens him for their sakes, that he may guide them aright and fight their battles, and give them dominion over their enemies. It was with this... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 28:8

The Lord is their strength - Margin, “his strength.” The Hebrew is, “their strength,” or “strength to them.” The allusion is to the people of God. The course of thought seems to be, that the psalmist, having derived in his own case assistance from God, or having found God a strength to him, his mind turns from this fact to the general idea that God was the strength of “all” who were in similar circumstancaes; or that all His people might confide in Him as he had done.And he is the saving... read more

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!

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:1-9

Psalms 26-28 Living uprightlyDavid appeals to God to support him against those who plot evil against him. God has done a work of grace in his life, and this causes him to hate the company of worthless people and make every effort to live the sort of life that pleases God (26:1-5). He desires righteousness, delights in worship, loves to spend hours in the house of God and enjoys telling others about God (6-8). He therefore asks that he will not suffer the same end as the wicked (9-10). Though... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 28:8

"Jehovah is their strength, and he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever""Stronghold ... to his anointed" (Psalms 28:8). Addis stated that "anointed" in this passage may refer, "Either to the king or to the high priests."[22] This is true enough, of course; but as Dahood noted, in this passage, "The reference is to the King."[23]"Here David builds upon the fact that he is God's anointed, that he... read more
