Psalm 28:6-7

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

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!

Donald C. Fleming

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

Thomas Constable

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
