David's strategy in trouble is to watch for God (vs. 9) One obvious detail of this Psalm is David's extensive use and reliance on the names and characteristics of God as he watches for God. I like the definition of watching, like a watchman on a wall. What David hopes for, and looks for, and is confident in, is the character of God. My God (vs. 1, 9, 10, 17) O LORD (vs. 3, 8) O LORD, God of hosts (vs. 5) The God of Israel (vs. 5) -- who can punish nations (His reign is universal) O My Strength (vs. 9, 17 ESV) My fortress/stronghold (vs. 9, 17) My God, in His lovingkindness (vs. 10, 17) Scatter them by your power (vs. 11) O Lord, our shield (vs. 11) Consume them in wrath (vs. 13) God rules over Jacob (vs. 13) God rules to the ends of the earth (vs. 13) I will sing of your strength (vs. 16) I will sing of your lovingkindness (vs. 16) A fortress and a refuge in the day of distress (vs. 16) It's pretty obvious that what David holds onto in distress is his working, personal and intimate knowledge of God. There is an interesting repetition in vs. 6-8 and 14-17. Basically the same situation is described, but the response is different. In the first, God laughs. In the second, David sings of God.
