“A Prayer For Help, & Praise For It’s Answer”

Psalm 28
Book Psalm of David summary:
Psalm 28 is the 28th psalm from the Book of Psalms. This psalm “is a prayer: expostulating with Yahweh for abandoning His people in peril of death, and crying aloud for help, with hands uplifted towards the holy shrine; urging that He discriminate between them and their enemies, visiting the latter with retribution for their deeds; blessing Yahweh{Yahweh in Hebrew Is a Relational God. Yahweh is only used in the Bible when the author is talking about God’s personal relationship with his people. A great example of this is Psalm 19. The author talks in the first 6 verses about Elohim (another name for God in Hebrew) and his relationship with the material world.} , the strength and shield, and rejoicing in Him as the refuge for king and people. Glosses give a reason for the imprecation upon enemies and a liturgical petition for salvation.”
Psalm 28:1-9
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. Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. 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. 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. Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORDand what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again. Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. 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. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.

Father God, , thank You that we can gain comfort and joy not jusst me but, all Your children gain from Your precious Word knowledge, and I thank You that You are my strength and my Shield. My heart trusts in You, and I praise and thank You for the help and comfort I received, through faith in Christ Jesus my Saviour. Thank You that Your ear is ever open to the cries and the cry of Your people. Help me take every thought and look to Jesus Christ in prayer from my heart, when circumstances arise that would otherwise overwhelm me and cause me to fear. The joy of the Lord is my strength {Nehemiah 8:10}, therefore my heart has Jubilation in grateful thanks and eternal praise, in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
