jeremiah7

Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. (Psalm 28:9)

David ends Psalm 28 by praying to God to save His people and bless them. Psalm 28 is a mixture of cries for mercy and praise for deliverance. David wanted God to punish the wicked because they cared not for God or His works.
David wanted God to shepherd His people and carry them. Surely he must have been thinking of the times he himself was a shepherd taking care of sheep and he knew how much care some sheep needed.
Paul the Apostle while writing to the Thessalonians said,
".......encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. (1 Thessalonians 5:14)

Some believers who have matured over the years in their walk with God are impatient that new believers cannot be so prompt and "upto the mark" as they want them to be. They often forget that it's all "Grace"
As the Apostle Paul said,
"But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. (Ephesians 4:7)"
....without which we are nothing, so as to say. So let us be thankful that He has given us grace. Surely our God is one who shepherds His people and carries them.
