Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Psalms 28 Study & Commentary
Psalm 28 is a cry for help followed by a song of praise. David begs God not to be silent to him, lest he become like those who go down into the pit, and ends by blessing his "strength and shield."
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. The Silence of God: To the believer, God’s silence is a serious crisis (v. 1). We must persist in prayer until we hear from Him.2. The Works of the Lord: God judges those who "regard not the works of the Lord" (v. 5). We must be students of God’s providence.
3. God as our Strength: God is the saving strength of His anointed. He carries His people like a shepherd.
