Tap a verse to highlight it

1 A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.

2 Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.

4 The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.

5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.

6 And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.

7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:

8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.

9 The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.

10 The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.

11 The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens across Psalm 28?
Psalm 28 is a cry for God to hear a prayer for deliverance and not let the speaker be swept away 'with the wicked' (v.3), followed by confidence that God has heard, ending with a blessing on God's people (v.9).
What does the psalm ask God to do to the wicked?
Verse 4 asks God to 'Give them according to their deeds... render to them their desert' because 'they regard not the works of the LORD' (v.5).
How does the psalm's mood shift?
It turns from anxious pleading to praise at verse 6 -- 'Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications' -- a turn similar to the joy described in Psalms 30:11-12.
