28:6 The shift from petition to thanksgiving is common in lament psalms (see note at 22:22-24).
28:7 The Lord provides him with strength and protection.
28:8-9 The relationship between the individual and the community is evident in identifying the Lord as the psalmist’s strength in v. 7 and the strength of his people in v. 8. Though his anointed can refer to the Davidic king of Israel (18:50; 20:6; 45:7), in this case it is parallel to “his people” and represents the nation as a whole (105:15; Hab 3:13). Israel was also known as the Lord’s possession (see 135:4; Ex 19:5 and note there). On the designation shepherd, see note at 23:1.
