Berean Standard Bible

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.”

Psalms 28:7

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 28 is a psalm of David that begins with an urgent cry for God not to be silent, lest he become like those who go down to the pit. Partway through, the tone changes from pleading to praise as David senses that God has heard him.
