Ad te, Domine, clamabo.
David's prayer that his enemies may not prevail over him.
27:1. A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God,
be not thou silent to me: lest if thou be silent to me, I become like
them that go down into the pit.
27:2. Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee;
when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.
27:3. Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of
iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils
are in their hearts.
27:4. Give them according to their works, and according to the
wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands
give thou to them: render to them their reward.
27:5. Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the
operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build
them up.
27:6. Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my
supplication.
27:7. The Lord is my helper andmy protector: in him hath my heart
confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again,
and with my will I will give praise to him.
27:8. The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the
salvation of his anointed.
27:9. Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them
and exalt them for ever.
Psalms Chapter 28
Afferte Domino.
An invitation to glorify God, with a commemoration of his mighty works.
28:1. 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.
28:2. Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his
name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
28:3. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath
thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.
28:4. The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in
magnificence.
28:5. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall
break the cedars of Libanus.
28:6. And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the
beloved son of unicorns.
Shall reduce them to pieces, etc... In Hebrew, shall make them to skip
like a calf. The psalmist here describes the effects of thunder (which
he calls the voice of the Lord) which sometimes breaks down the tallest
and strongest trees; and makes their broken branches skip, etc. All this
is to be understood mystically of the powerful voice of God's word in
his church; which has broken the pride of the great ones of this world,
and brought many of them meekly and joyfully to submit their necks to
the sweet yoke of Christ.
28:7. The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:
28:8. The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake
the desert of Cades.
28:9. The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover
the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.
28:10. The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king
for ever. The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless
his people with peace.
