David's sense of responsibility is huge. In verse 5, David talks about his responsibility to take care of God's heritage- God's people. And it is that foundation that he calls out to God to save his life. He even takes an interesting turn where he refers to himself in the third person, speaking even bigger than himself and to the kingship of Israel. David's reign is such that he depends on God to fulfill his kingly responsibility.
David's sense of dependence of God is admirable- it's something I want to strive for in my own life. God has granted responsibility to all of us, sharing in the royal anointing of Jesus Christ, and that can be scary sometimes. We are called to carry on the ministry of Jesus in the world... gulp!
So let us rely on God in the same way David sings about as we fulfill our vows day after day.
