Chapter 460 of 1163

PSALM 28

Requesting (1–5). David’s enemies were undermining his reputation and his work, so he turned to the Lord with two special requests: that God would speak to him (vv. 1–2) and that God would save him (vv. 3–5). God speaks to us in answered prayer. “If You are silent,” said David, “I might just as well be dead! And if You don’t deliver me, You are treating me like the enemy!” Pretty powerful arguments!

Rejoicing (6–9). God heard him and helped him, and He does the same for you today as you trust Him. You can rejoice in the Lord even when you cannot rejoice in yourselves or your circumstances. Trust God to be your strength, your song, and your salvation (Isa. 12:2). He is the faithful Shepherd who can carry both you and your burdens.
