The setting of this Psalm is unknown/uncertain, but it could be inferred that David is preaching to his own soul, lining up 3 fundamental truths: 1) God is the author and ruler, 2) God favors the righteous, 3) we want God to reign. What does vs. 5 mean, "he will receive righteousness from the God of his salvation"? NIV: and vindication from God his Savior. NC V: the God who saves them will declare them right. It may mean that God will justify them - that before the accusation of evil men, or when God is determining who is righteous and who is to be condemned, this man will receive a declaration of being righteous.
