This chapter talks about the genealogy of those that were exiled.
They called this a psalm of suffering and I guess that I can see that. It seems like David is wrestling with realizing how short our lives are and asking God to help make sure that we end up with him. David does mention those moments where he might be weak and fall, but again asks God for help.

This is more genealogy. But there is a part that stands out to me regarding the gatekeepers. It tells of how there are gatekeepers for the Lords temple or the tent of meeting and that there was one posted on all directional sides and that there were others that guarded other parts and some that had keys to enter and some that were in charge of the articles used in the temple service and so on. All these were the Levites and they had been tasked from the beginning with this service.
I think your explanation covers this psalm well. The first few verses stand out to me about watching my ways and keeping my tongue from sin, putting a muzzle on my mouth when in the presence of the wicked. In doing that it sounds like he got angry and then spoke in anger.
