Psalm 28: Is a lament for help from a threat posed by evil doers
Psalm 28 is a lament, perhaps by an individual or perhaps by a representative of the people, for help from a threat posed by evil doers.
1-2 – The singer cries earnestly for the LORD to hear him. This an urgent request for help in a time of emergency. The situation is desperate, to the point of death. This is a cry for mercy, not getting what you deserve.
3-5 – The singer contrasts himself to the wicked, those who actively oppose God, the wicked are more than sinners. The singer asks to be rescued on that difference.
6-9 – The LORD hears the prayer and rescues the individual or the people along with his anointed, the Davidic King. This is prayer of praise, thanksgiving, and continued confidence in covenant God, LORD.
