Walking forward looking backward, David draws on his experience of deliverance to gain hopeful confidence for future deliverance. I've possibly made this arc too complex, but the basic structure is before (vs. 1-4) and now (vs. 5-17). And he fights through the present by making proclamation of God. Vs. 5 is his statement of how he will fight through his struggle - he will proclaim God's deeds, and vs. 6-16 are his living out that statement -- he declares God's deeds. He starts by speaking of how he knows he is God's covenant people. (6-10) Then he speaks of God's covenant love (11-12) and his call on God to be faithful to him (vs. 13-16) He ends the Psalm with his bottom line -- God will take care of me, Lord do not delay (vs. 17) I really like 11-12. I couldn't understand it at first, it seemed liked the connection between the two verses in the word "for" wasn't appropriate. Then I saw the underlying assumption. David was confident that the Lord would not withhold compassion precisely because evils beyond number had surrounded him. In other words, David was convinced that even though what David was living was the result of his own iniquity, God would not remove His hesed from him and would indeed preserve David. That's an amazing confidence in God, even when David was fully undeserving.
