Psalms – Chapter 28

Old Testament11 Verses

1A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.

2Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.

3The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.

4The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.

5The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.

6And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.

7The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:

8The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.

9The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.

10The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.

11The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.

Reflection for Today

Catholic exegesis approaches Psalms Chapter 28 with reverence, seeking both the literal sense and the spiritual meaning ordered to Christ.

Catholic theology recognizes that prayer, praise, and the full range of human emotion before God is not an abstract idea but a reality encountered in prayer, sacraments, and charity. This chapter contributes to that vision by stressing the reality of spiritual combat and vigilance.

Let Psalms Chapter 28 deepen your love for the Eucharist, where the Word made flesh continues to feed His people. The same Christ who speaks in Scripture offers Himself sacramentally on the altar.
