This 64th Psalm speaks to the condition that I imagine a lot of believers find themselves in at some point or another. Where David is under physical duress, and the threat of death, believers in God are also persecuted. In some nations they are murdered for this faith. This chapter can help these people take heart, because David's been there. It may not provide immediate comfort, but it does speak to the fact that God will eventually be the vindicator. The liberator. The protector. God fights the battles, will fight them his way, and he doesn't need any help or suggestions.
Just as David feared the flight of arrows, he believes God will turn these arrows around.
Just as David knew about the enemy's evil words and plans, he believes God will turn their tongues against them.
Just as David lived in fear, his enemies will at some point fear God.
And all these things make God worthy of praise.
