We are not told in this Psalm the particulars of David’s failure that had made him vulnerable to malicious slander fueled by jealous men. The slander had almost destroyed David. The secret to David’s success in life was not his perfection, but his trust in God’s faithfulness. David’s response to this suffering so much reflected the heart of God that it is quoted by Jesus while on the cross: “Into your hand I commit my spirit” (v5).   

This is a great Psalm for when times seem to be in upheaval. David prayed, “My times are in Your hand” (v15). It was a confession of faith by him; it is a good confession of faith for us.
