Psaume 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.

Psaume 28:6 In-Context

4 Donne-leur selon leurs œuvres; donne-leur selon la malice de leurs actions; traite-les selon les œuvres de leurs mains; rends-leur ce qu'ils ont mérité!
5 Car ils ne prennent pas garde aux œuvres de l'Éternel, ni à l'ouvrage de ses mains. Il les renversera, et ne les relèvera point.
6 Béni soit l'Éternel, car il a entendu la voix de mes supplications!
7 L'Éternel est ma force et mon bouclier; mon cœur s'est confié en lui, et j'ai été secouru; aussi mon cœur s'est réjoui, et je le loue par mon cantique.
8 L'Éternel est la force des siens, le rempart et le salut de son Oint.
