The psalmist is crying out to God for rescue. yet the amazing thing is that he cries out to the God who knows his folly (5) who knows his sin. He does not plead for salvation by merit, there is no idea that he deserves God's rescue. In fact just the opposite this is a cry to the God of grace from one who has experienced his salvation and put his hope in it.
He is adrift, bereft of comforters and friends and surrounded by enemies and those who seek to harm him. So he cries to God, and looks forward to the time when not just he, but all heaven and earth will praise God his saviour.
