Psalm 28
Psalm begins
with two requests (v. 1):
a. Be a rock
b. Not to be
deaf to me
b’. if you’ll
be silent
a’. I will
go to the pit
Then the
primary answer is right there (v. 2):
Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to
you for help
When I lift
up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
But then
David goes into a “negative” example (vv. 3-5):
a. Description:
Wicked – workers of evil
being
treacherous: speaking peace but having evil in their hearts
b. Outcome: Give them what they deserve (in
accordance with their deeds), v. 4
a’.
Description of the reason: Because they do not regard the works of the LORD
(the Living one, see the reference to the pit, v. 1)
b’, Description of the outcome: He will tear
them down and build them up no more – they will not experience resurrection.
For all of us go through the cycles of “down-ups” or “death-resurrection.”
Fuller
description of God’s “answers” (vv. 6-9):
a. Hearing
(vv. 6-7). He hears – I give thanks with my song.
