In Psalm 28 the judgment of God upon the wicked and workers of iniquity—-the mass of the Jews, apparently is looked for as not far off, and the godly plead that they may not be drawn away with the wicked. Unto God they call, their Rock,—-if He does not answer, they are become like them that go down into the pit (the speaker looks at the result at the end of their course).
The believing Jews are still, at the time of this psalm, at and near Jerusalem; the Man of sin has not proclaimed Himself to be God (see Matthew 24:15,15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) (Matthew 24:15) and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-43Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3‑4)) , and God is looked to as in the oracle, or holy of holies, in the temple. Already separate in heart and life from the apostate Jews, they call for judgment on these according to their deserts, for they regard not the mighty works of God.
God hears; the closing verses of this psalm are the voice of Christ in the remnant of believers, and the "anointed one" in verse 8 is Himself as received and acknowledged by them. Christ is the intercessor in the last verse.
