David makes a plea to the Lord for justice.
He starts off by reminding God that he, David, has been upright. This may jar with some of us, thinking that we are righteous only because of what Christ has done for us. This is true, but even so there are times when we are in the right and yet are treated unjustly. We should live lives of integrity and should shun evil ways, such as accepting bribes. If we do this we have a clear conscience, and it is a lot easier to walk with God and to resist opposition when we do have a clear conscience.
David seeks refuge in the Lord, and to be shown the wonders of God's loves.
David is completely honest about what he thinks of those who are out to get him. We may find some of the things he says a bit hard to take (eg verse 14).
