Introduction
A righteous man in affliction makes supplication to God, and complains of the malice of his enemies, Psalm 28:1-4 ; whom he describes as impious, and whose destruction he predicts, Psalm 28:5 . He blesses God for hearing his prayers, and for filling him with consolation, Psalm 28:6 , Psalm 28:7 ; then prays for God's people, Psalm 28:8 , Psalm 28:9 .
This Psalm is of the same complexion with the two preceding; and belongs most probably to the times of the captivity, though some have referred it to David in his persecutions. In the five first verses the author prays for support against his enemies, who appear to have acted treacherously against him. In the sixth and seventh he is supposed to have gained the victory, and returns with songs of triumph. The eighth is a chorus of the people sung to their conquering king. The ninth is the prayer of the king for his people.
