Like many of the Psalms, this one begins with a cry for help. Maybe sometimes we believe we should start the day full of praise and adoration for God, and sometimes we do, and it would be wonderful if we did this all the time, but we don't, and that is OK. The Psalms show us that God can cope with us the way we are.
This Psalm was a morning Psalm (v3) and David starts out by calling for help to deal with the problems he has, and then reminds himself of who God is. God does not like wickedness, He is a God of justice, therefore David expects God to do something about the situation. In all the circumstances we face we should consider who God is and what He is like. Look at Jesus and remember what the gospels reveal about Him, then ask ourselves what His reaction and attitude is towards our situation.
Then David commits himself to follow God's ways, not the way of the wicked. Whatever the circumstances we must live life the way Jesus wants us to. Then we will live under the protection of God and under His blessing.
