The Arc looks confusing, but for me it simplifies what is happening in the Psalm. David calls on God to save Him (vs. 1-3), the way he wants to be saved (vs. 4-10), and the reason why (vs. 11-16), I've been using if/then freely. There is no clear "if" side to the relationship, but the "then" side is pretty clear (vs. 9, 18, 28), at least in the ESV. I don't know if that is a good description of the logical relationship, but it's the best I can come up with given the options. The second part of the Psalm (vs. 17-28) is broken in two sections. In the first (vs. 17-22) David states three perspectives that stand in contrast to what He longs for God to do. 1. That God sees but does nothing (vs. 17-18), 2. That his enemies look at him and rejoice at his downfall (vs. 19-21), 3. That God sees, but stands afar off (vs. 22). Then, in contrast, David calls out for what He desires God to do, (vs. 23-24), the purpose or end of that vindication (vs. 25-27) and then what David's response will be (vs. 28) Probably my biggest question is if I have over arced this Psalm. It seems very complex and it makes me wonder if I have read too much into it to make it flow.
