There are more genealogies and descendants today. I really don't know what more to say about them than what I have. I am sure that these are important, but I know I won't remember with all the names who belongs to who.
This psalm sounds like a prayer to ask for forgiveness for his sins. David did sin against God once and maybe it's possible that this was his prayer at this time knowing what he had done.

More genealogy. I started to wonder a few things while reading this. First, what is the reason for this listing and accounting of all at this point, I remember there being reference to future events, so it could be to show us how those important later on came from the original group of God's people and the covenants they had. Second, we still do an accounting of our ancestors on some level. I like to read about those before us and what our family did before our time. Third, again there is little mention of females, but there was one that stood out in which it was said that she built some places which makes me wonder the significance.
The psalm does sound like a confession of sin to God. He is also asking for God's help with those persecuting him.
