Psalm 3 begins with David expressing his distress and fear as he flees from his son Absalom, who has rebelled against him. In the midst of his troubles, David finds solace in God, acknowledging Him as his shield and the lifter of his head. He cries out to God, confident in His ability to answer and deliver him from his enemies. Despite the multitude of adversaries, David declares his trust in the Lord and proclaims that salvation belongs to God.

Psalm 4 is a plea from David to God for relief from his distress and the deceitful ways of his enemies. He appeals to God as the One who sets apart the righteous, asking for His favor and for the light of His face to shine upon him. David encourages the people to trust in the Lord and refrain from pursuing futile pleasures and worldly riches. He affirms that true joy and peace come from knowing God and relying on His righteousness.

Psalm 12 laments the widespread deceit and arrogance among the people. David cries out to God for help, as the faithful seem to have disappeared. He longs for God to rise up and silence the lies and flattery of the wicked. In contrast, David expresses his confidence in God's promises, affirming His faithfulness and declaring that His words are pure like refined silver.

Psalm 13 reflects David's feelings of abandonment and despair, as he pleads with God for His attention and intervention. David questions how long he must endure his affliction and asks God to consider his plight. Nevertheless, even in his desperation, David affirms his trust in God's steadfast love and salvation, expressing his joy in God's deliverance.

Psalm 28 is a prayer of David seeking God's help and protection against his enemies. David pleads for God not to ignore him but to hear his cries and extend His mercy. He acknowledges the wickedness of those who oppose him and calls for their just punishment. In the midst of his plea, David affirms his trust in God as his strength and shield, praising Him for His saving power.

Psalm 55 expresses David's anguish and betrayal as he deals with the treachery of a close friend. He longs for the wings of a dove to fly away from the conflict, seeking refuge from the storms of life. David expresses his pain over the betrayal and prays for justice to be executed upon the wicked. Despite the turmoil, David encourages the righteous to cast their burdens upon the Lord, confident that He will sustain them.
