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.

Chapter Study & Analysis
Overview
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.
Practical Lessons
FORMAL PRAYER
Blessed be the Lord, because He hath heard the voice of our supplications. Be Thou our strength and our shield; let our hearts greatly rejoice in Thee. Amen.
