PSALM 28



THE ARGUMENT



This Psalm seems to be made upon the same occasion with the former, and is mixed, as many others of his Psalms are, of hopes and fears, of prayers and praises.



David prayeth earnestly for himself, Psa_28:1,2, that he might not be led away with the wicked, Psa_28:3,4. The reason of his prayer, Psa_28:5. He blesseth God for hearing him, Psa_28:6-8; and prayeth for the people, Psa_28:9.



Be not silent; be not deaf to my prayers, nor dumb as, to thy answers to them: lest I be in the like or same condition with them



that go down into the pit, i.e. a lost creature; as I shall certainly be, if thou dost not succour me.
