👑 Psalms 28

Psalms 28 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.” Psalms 28 opens with these words: “To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.” The line to keep is Psalms 28:3: “Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.” Carry the word “draw” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 28:3: “Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 28? Then try this: Read “Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
