Psalms 28:4-9

4 Give them according to their deeds and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render unto them their desert.

5 Because they do not regard the works of the LORD nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the LORD because he has heard the voice of my supplications.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise him.

8 The LORD is the strength of his people, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

9 Save thy people and bless thine inheritance; feed them also and lift them up for ever.

Psalms 28:4-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 28

\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm, Aben Ezra says, David either composed himself, or one of the singers for him; the former seems most likely; and it might be made by him when he was persecuted by Saul, or when delivered from him; or at least when he had faith and hope that he should be delivered: the psalm consists of two parts, petitions and thanksgivings.
