Psalms 28:6

6 Blessed [is] Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.

Psalms 28:6 Meaning and 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 he had prayed for, ( Psalms 28:2 ) ; an answer was quickly returned, even while he was speaking, ( Isaiah 65:24 ) ; though this may be an expression of faith, being fully persuaded and assured that he was heard, and would be answered, and may be said by a prophetic spirit; knowing that what he had humbly asked for would be granted; so Aben Ezra and Kimchi understand it in a way of prophecy.

Psalms 28:6 In-Context

4 Give to them according to their work, even according to the evil of their deeds. Give to them according to the work of their hands; repay them their rightful due.
5 Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh, nor the work of his hands, he will destroy them and not rebuild them.
6 Blessed [is] Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.
7 Yahweh [is] my strength and my shield. My heart trusts him and I am helped. So my heart rejoices, and with my song I will give thanks to him.
8 Yahweh [is] their strength, and he [is] the refuge for the salvation of his anointed one.
