Context of Psalms 28:6
4Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert. 5Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up. Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 7Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him. 8Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-9Verses 6-9 Has God heard our supplications? Let us then bless his name. The Lord is my strength, to support me, and carry me on through all my services and sufferings. The heart that truly believes, shall in due time greatly rejoice: we are to expect joy and peace in believing. God shall have the praise of it: thus must we express our gratitude.
