Comments on Psalms 27-29

Thoughts on Psalm 27

This psalm of David is one of contrast. Verses one through six show him extolling God's protection, but from verses eight through thirteen David pleads with God to hear him and not forsake him. The psalm ends in verse fourteen with David's words of encouragement to hope in the Lord.

Thoughts on Psalm 28

This is a Psalm of David in which he is again crying out to the God he loves. He praises God for hearing and answering his prayer. Three different facets of the heart are described. In verse three: the evil heart. In verse seven: the trusting heart and the rejoicing heart.

Thoughts on Psalm 29

In this psalm by David, he writes of the power of a storm and compares it as the power and voice of God. David speaks of the voice of God no less than seven times, and repeats the name of the Lord eighteen times. This is a psalm of praise.
