Mazmur 28:6

28:6 The Lord deserves praise, ¹ 

for he has heard my plea for mercy! ² 

Mazmur 118:21

118:21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me,

and have become my deliverer.

[28:6]  ¹ tn Heb “blessed [be] the Lord.”

[28:6]  ² sn He has heard my plea for mercy. The psalmist’s mood abruptly changes at this point, because the Lord responded positively to his petition and assured him that he would deliver him.
