Meditations in the Psalms

February 23rd

Psalm 28:1-9

The wicked are all around us; we must face them daily. The important issue is not to follow them – don’t go where they go – don’t do what they do! Verse 5 clearly says, “they regard not the works of the LORD.” This is a prayer for God’s help and protection, and at the same time, emphasizes our need of trusting in Him.

1. His cry to the Lord – verses 1-2
2. His call for God’s vengeance – verses 3-5
3. His confidence in the Lord’s strength – verses 6-9

These words are what we need to hear every day – “my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped.” Never forget it!

Verse for Meditation

Verse 7 – “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him.”
