Commentary on Psalms 28:9

Theological / Devotional

Thine inheritance. The nation of Israel (see Deut. 4:20 ; 9:26, 29). The force of the psalmist’s appeal lies in the pronouns “thy” and “thine.” How can God fail to save His own?

Feed them. Or, “shepherd them.” The close of the psalm suggests the tender shepherd of Ps. 80:1; Isa. 40:11; cf. Deut. 1:31 ; 32:11, 12.

Lift. Heb. naśa’, which also means “to carry” as in 2 Kings 4:19.

The last words of the psalm carry with them the blessing of the peace that passeth understanding.
