Contradiction with Isaiah 59:2
This verse states that iniquities and sins separate people from God, which contrasts with the plea in Psalms 28:1 for God not to be silent, suggesting separation can occur.
Isaiah 59:2: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. [have hid: or, have made him hide]
Contradiction with Proverbs 15:29
It says the Lord is far from the wicked, contradicting Psalms 28:1's plea for closeness and response from God.
Proverbs 15:29: The LORD [is] far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Contradiction with James 4:8
Encourages people to draw near to God, implying action is required for closeness, unlike the passive plea in Psalms 28:1 for God to hear.
James 4:8: Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:13
It claims God's eyes are too pure to look on evil, potentially contradicting the plea in Psalms 28:1 where an individual in distress seeks God's attention regardless of their state.
Habakkuk 1:13: [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he? [iniquity: or, grievance]
Contradiction with Micah 3:4
Indicates that God will not hear the cries of some due to their actions, contrasting the request in Psalms 28:1 for God not to remain silent.
Micah 3:4: Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
