David again is in trouble. So he calls upon the Lord to answer him, and he calls with all his heart. If the Lord answers him he will obey the Lord. This is not a form of blackmail, but a simple statement of fact. We cannot serve the Lord purely in our own strength. We need His salvation in order to enable us to serve Him properly.
What David does do is seek the Lord with all his heart and all his strength. Sometimes God lets things happen in our life so that we will turn to Him with increasing fervour. David puts his hope in God's word and meditates on His promises. There is a lot of talk about God's promises in this Psalm. We need to spend more time meditating on God' promises, for these are things that are bound to happen.
David calls on God to treat him according to His love and His Laws.
As in most of the stanzas there is mention of the wicked who devise plans against him. David responds by continuing to trust in God's word.
