Psalms 28 Summary

Hear the Voice of My Supplications

The psalmist cries unto the Lord, his rock, that he not be silent lest he become like those going down into the pit. He lifts his hands toward God's holy oracle and asks not to be drawn with the wicked, who speak peace but harbour mischief. The Lord hears his supplications, becomes his strength and shield, and saves his people and blesses his inheritance.
