Check out Contradictions Catalog of Psalms 28:1 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Psalms 28:1. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to David, when he prays to God, he calls Him his strong rock. David asks God to listen because if God doesn't, it feels like he's all alone and in a very dark place.

Psalms 28:1: [[A Psalm] of David.] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if] thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. [to me: Heb. from me]

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.

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]
