David cries out in despair. He wonders how long he will have to wait for God to rescue him.
Note that the things David fears are being forgotten by God, and God hiding His face from Him. David knows that it is good to be under the Lord's care, whereas many seem to want to run from His presence.
David wrestles with all sorts of thoughts and emotions, with sorrow in his heart. We sometimes labour under the misunderstanding that if only we had enough faith then we would always live life in perfect peace. Psalms like these show that it is perfectly normal for God's people to go through anguish in their hearts, and God is perfectly happy for us to tell Him about it.
David calls on God to look upon him, otherwise his enemies will triumph over him.
Despite all he is going through, and all that he feels, David continues to put his trust in God.
