Context of Psalms 28:6

4Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve. 5Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again. Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. 7The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. 8The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications - This is one of those passages which frequently occur in the Psalms, when there has been an earnest and anxious prayer offered to God, and when the answer to the prayer seems to be immediate.
