vss. 7-9 Is a prayer, or plea, for God’s help.  When I realize the only defense in life’s trials is God, pleaing and fleeing to Him is the only course of action.

vs. 7  Is an urgent, audible cry for God’s mercy when God’s answer is desperately needed.

vs. 8  Is a rehearsal to God of the psalmst’s obedience in turning to God in faith for help.  “You told me to turn to You, give my life to You, trust and rest in You.  I have done that;-Please answer !!”

vs. 9  I know God has promised never to leave or forsake me, but in moments of desperation, when trouble is upon me, I begin to doubt.  “Has some sin spoiled God’s blessings? Will He be angry and not come to my rescue?”

He’ll come – He’s the God of my Salvation. I may not always be faithful, but God always is!
