PSALM 28 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm seems to be made upon the same occasion with the former, and is mixed, as many others of his Psalms are, of hopes and fears, of prayers and praises. David prayeth earnestly for himself, Psalms 28:1,2, that he might not be led away with the wicked, Psalms 28:3,4. The reason of his prayer, Psalms 28:5. He blesseth God for hearing him, Psalms 28:6-8; and prayeth for the people, Psalms 28:9. Be not silent; be not deaf to my prayers, nor dumb as, to thy answers to them: lest I be in the like or same condition with them that go down into the pit, i.e. a lost creature; as I shall certainly be, if thou dost not succour me.
