So they are bringing the Ark to the city of David, but only the Levites are able to carry the Ark. There is a random remark about Saul's daughter seeing this and have negative feelings toward David. David does give his people a prayer or song of thanks to God that they should say/sing.
This psalm asks God for help with those who make life difficult, but also praises him for his gift of salvation.

I was curious about the daughter of Saul despising David when she saw him. This was when David was bringing the ark to the city and he was singing and dancing in praise. I was a bit confused with the fact that David appears to be ministering to the people, when in the rules from God it was supposed to be specific clans doing that and he gave them a prayer to use, which being blessed by God could have come from that blessing. It seemed a reminder of where they had come from and the covenant made with God and their ancestors.
The psalms seems a reminder to himself to put his hope in God as he is still downcast.
