Context of Psalms 28:6

4Repay them for their deeds, their evil acts. Repay them for the deeds of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve. 5Since they show no regard for the deeds of Adonai nor the work of His hands, He will tear them down and never build them up. Blessed be Adonai, because He has heard the sound of my supplications. 7Adonai is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in Him, and I was helped. Therefore my heart leaps for joy, and I will praise Him with my song. 8Adonai is their strength—a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

• 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.
