Another Psalm requesting vengeance on the enemies of the Psalmist and his nation. So much is made in the Psalms about how great the "wicked" on earth have things. Those who reject God do not believe in him in respect to his power. Therefore, without that sense of an afterlife with that God, and probably a sense of eternity limited by their culture, they feel that they have one go-around, and this is it. Hence, they better make the most of the pleasures available while they're here. Undisciplined pleasures that get in the way of a relationship with God, and the source of true treasure.
The Psalmist here trusts his deliverance and his life to God, and therefore devotes his life to God. What passes away, the obsessions of the wicked, can never save like God's supporting hand.
