Psalm 31 has too much good stuff to be combined with another one!
The NET broke Psalm 31 into two parts: verses 1-18 being a prayer and verses 19-24 as the results of the answered prayer. It’s a good way to break it down. You can see/hear/feel the change in David’s tone. Something else I was thinking about is that when David was pleading for protection and for rescue, he genuinely needed it. Like from actual people actually trying to kill him. You might not need that kind of literal help, but we all need help against an enemy that is interested in keeping us tripped up and entangled in sin and consequences.
