This Psalm is very hard to outline. It’s all over the place - one second David asks God to protect him from his enemies; the next he is asking God to forgive him his sin; the next he is asking God to protect him, because of his integrity.
The reason for this is that this Psalm is HUMAN. There really was a David. He really was hounded by treacherous enemies who really wanted to kill him and his family and wipe his name off the face of the earth. David really was a big fat sinner. AND David really was a man after God’s own heart.
In other words, David was a human being, with strengths and weaknesses, sins and successes, in a fallen world. Like us. And he needed God for ALL of it, like us. Not just one part of his life. He needed God, for God’s sake. He needed God because of his enemies out there. And he needed God for the enemy within. Like us.
