David never wants to be ashamed of coming before God. Though he be mocked for it, God is his source of strength and hope, and therefore, David has no reason to be ashamed. He has been delivered and provided for in so many ways. These are the reasons David continues to pray.
Another striking attribute of David is that he wants to continue to be useful to God when he is old and gray. He doesn't want to pass on until he at least gets the chance to proclaim what God has done for him to the next generation. And God has done so much for him. David realizes the gravity in his testimony. He has faced so much opposition and antagonism. He wasn't the purest man or the nicest guy around, but his walk with God was constantly in a state of renewal and restoration whenever he screwed up. He didn't walk away from God ever. And God never abandoned him.
He will continue to walk on even though those around him don't understand his faith. Even though they talk amongst themselves in scorn, thinking he is crazy or stupid for it. He knows its real.
