Psalms 28:8

6 Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!

7 The Lord is ^amy strength and my shield;
My heart ^btrusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.

8 The Lord is¹ their strength,
And He is the ^asaving refuge of His anointed.

9 Save Your people,
And bless ^aYour inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
^bAnd bear them up forever.

Psalms 28:8

The Lord is their strength - Instead of lamo , to them, eight MSS. of Kennicott and De Rossi have leammo to his people; and this reading is confirmed by the Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Ethiopic, Arabic, and Anglo-Saxon. This makes the passage more precise and intelligible; and of the truth of the reading there can be no reasonable doubt. "The Lord is the strength of his People, and the saving strength of his anointed." Both king and people are protected, upheld, and saved by him.
