Psalms 28:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands. They do not note God's providential workings. If they did, they would see that judgment falls upon the wicked, and, seeing this, they would fear and abstain from evil.

But they take no notice—God is not in all their thoughts. For this neglect and contempt of him, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
