“Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.”
Psalms 28:6
Summary
Psalm 28 is a prayer of David, expressing earnest supplication for God's guidance and deliverance. David begins by crying out to the Lord, his Rock, not to remain silent lest he becomes like those who go down to the pit. He appeals for God's attention and pleads not to be dragged away with the wicked, who speak peace but harbor mischief in their hearts. The psalm transitions from petition to praise, as David confidently blesses the Lord for hearing his cries. His heart exults with joy in the strength and salvation provided by God. The psalm concludes with a prayer that God would continue to save and shepherd His people.
