Psalm 28:6-8

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 Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:7

The Lord is my strength ,.... That is, the author both of natural and spiritual strength; that gave him strength of body, and fortitude of mind, to bear up under all the exercises he was tried with; the strength of his life, spiritual and temporal, and of his salvation; the strength of his heart under present distresses, and who he knew would be so in the hour of death, when his heart and strength would fail; and my shield ; to protect and defend him; as were the love, power, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 28:8

The Lord is their strength ,.... The strength of his people, mentioned in Psalm 28:9 ; not only the strength of David in particular, but of all his people in general; see Psalm 37:39 ; and he is the saving strength of his anointed ; meaning either himself, as before, who was anointed by Samuel king of Israel, and therefore had not invaded and thrust himself into an office he had no call and right unto; or the Messiah, the Lord's Anointed, whom he heard, helped, and strengthened... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 28:8

The Lord is their strength - Instead of למו lamo , to them, eight MSS. of Kennicott and De Rossi have לעמו leammo to his people; and this reading is confirmed by the Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Ethiopic, Arabic, and Anglo-Saxon. This makes the passage more precise and intelligible; and of the truth of the reading there can be no reasonable doubt. "The Lord is the strength of his People, and the saving strength of his anointed." Both king and people are protected, upheld, and saved... 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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 28:8

Verse 8 8.Jehovah is their strength. By way of explanation, he repeats what he had said before, that God had been his strength; namely, because he had blessed his armies. David had indeed employed the hand and labor of men, but to God alone he ascribes the victory. As he knew that whatever help he had obtained from men proceeded from God, and that his prosperous success flowed likewise from his gratuitous favor, he discerned his hand in these means, as palpably as if it had been stretched forth... 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
