Meditation

Hi there,

Psalm 28 begins with David crying out to God for help and ends with praising Him for hearing and answering his prayer.​

Jehovah Chezeq appears twice in the Psalm. First in verse 7 and then in verse 8. In both cases, He gives both strength and protection. They're a combination. One buttresses the other.​

As David makes clear, that strength comes to those who trust in Him. Trust is the source of strength and isn't fleeting but permanent.​

Today's text is Psalm 28: 7-9. I have included the whole Psalm for context, and you might like to copy it out in full if you have the time.

Psalm 28

Of David.​

¹ To you, Lord, I call; you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.

² Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

³ Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.

⁴ Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.​

⁵ Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done, he will tear them down
and never build them up again.

⁶ Praise be to the Lord,for he has heard my cry for mercy.

⁷ The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.​

⁸ The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
​⁹ Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.
