Psalms 28:2 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle Earnestly desiring and confidently expecting an answer of peace from thence. The most holy place within the veil is here, as elsewhere, called the oracle. There the ark and the mercy-seat were; there God was said to dwell between the cherubim, and thence he spake to his people, Numbers 7:89. This was a type of Christ, and it is to him that we must lift up our eyes and hands, for through him all good comes from God to us. It was also a figure of heaven, Hebrews 9:24. And from God, as our Father in heaven, we are taught to expect an answer to our prayers.

Psalms 28:2

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