Psalm Ps. 28. This is a lament, a cry for help during the threat posed by evildoers. The threat is probably to the whole community (vv. 8–9), which each of the faithful is personally involved in (thus the references to “I,” “me,” and “my” throughout).
Ps. 28:1–2 The situation is desperate. To be like those who go down to the pit is probably to be like those who suffer divine judgment (see 30:3; 9; 88:4; 143:7).
Ps. 28:2 most holy sanctuary. This is the “innermost sanctuary” (see esv footnote), the place mentioned in 1 Kings 6:16.
Ps. 28:3–5 The wicked here are not simply people who commit sins, for even the faithful do that (see 32:6). The wicked are those who oppose God and his people with deceit and treachery (evil is in their hearts). Note the contrast between their work and the work of their hands (that is, of the wicked), and God’s works and the work of his hands.
Ps. 28:6–9 The psalm ends with confidence that God will protect his people and his anointed (the Davidic king, who represents and embodies the whole people; see 2:8).
