Psalm 28 NKJV
Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
A Psalm of David.
28 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
Do not be silent to me,
Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not [a]take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
Who speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds,
And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
Give them according to the work of their hands;
Render to them what they deserve.
5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
8 The Lord is [b]their strength,
And He is the saving refuge of His [c]anointed.
9 Save Your people,
And bless Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
And bear them up forever.

Psalm 28 Commentary
Let the wicked be punished. This is David’s plea.
The identity of the “wicked” can be interesting. You and I would easily qualify under this category.
Do not take me away with the wicked. Verse 3. Hidden in this supplication is an admission of guilt.
There are many times when the saint must sit down and look at their own lives. They are the wicked whose deeds must be punished!
Nevertheless, here we are, subjects of God’s compassion. We can, therefore, pray: Do not drag us away with the wicked, with those who do evil.
Because of God’s compassion, we have received forgiveness. Like David, we can pray: “Be their shepherd and carry them forever.” We are now the sheep of God’s pasture.
This Psalm points to the chief Shepherd and His sheep. They hear His voice; they follow Him.
