Psalm 28:1-29:11 KJV

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 28:1

PSALM 28AN ANSWERED PRAYEROf many excellent titles which have been suggested by writers, we have chosen this one by Kyle Yates.[1]The organization of the psalm is simple. There are just two divisions: (1) The Prayer (Psalms 28:1-5); and (2) The Answer (Psalms 28:6-9).The ancient title which has come down to us identifies this as "A Psalm of David"; and Barnes assures us that, "There is no need for doubting the correctness of the inscription."[2]Delitzsch identified the occasion for this psalm... read more

Psalms 28:0. David prayeth [or prophesieth] earnestly against his enemies: he blesseth God; he prayeth for the people. A Psalm of David. Title. לדוד ledavid.— This Psalm, as well as the foregoing, is supposed to have been written by David towards the latter end of his reign; at a time when, his wars being almost finished, some of his own subjects, probably those of Sheba's party, mentioned 2 Samuel 20:0 took an opportunity to give him some disturbance. This Psalm, says Mudge, has several... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 28:1

David cried out in prayer for the Lord’s deliverance from his enemies so he would not die. The "pit" refers to the grave."Prayer is an expression of sole dependence on the Lord for help." [Note: VanGemeren, p. 249.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 28:1-9

Psalms 28This psalm is similar to Psalms 26, except that in this one, David’s distress was imminent. He believed God would not punish him with the wicked, and he asked Him to save and shepherd His people. The combination of confidence in Yahweh and prayer to Yahweh, that appears in Psalms 27, appears again here but in reverse order. Psalms 28:1-5 are lament, and Psalms 28:6-9 are thanksgiving. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 28:1-9

This Ps. is in many respects similar to Psalms 26, especially in the writer’s prayer that he may be distinguished from the wicked, and may escape their fate; and in the confidence which he reaches in the closing verses. In this Ps., however, the peril of death appears more acute (Psalms 28:1), and some have supposed that both Pss. were written in a time of pestilence.1. The pit] the grave, or Sheol, the state of the dead. Unless his prayer is heard he looks for nothing less than death. 2. Thy... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 28:1

(1) My rock.—Heb., tsûr, from a root implying “bind together” (Deuteronomy 14:25), not necessarily therefore with sense of height, but with that of strength and solidity. Thus Tyre (or Tsûr) is built on a broad shelf of rock. We see from Deuteronomy 32:30-31; 1 Samuel 2:2, that “rock” was a common metaphor for a tutelary deity, and it is adopted frequently for Jehovah in the Psalms and poetical books. Sometimes in the Authorised Version it is rendered “strong” (Psalms 60:9; Psalms 71:3; see... read more
