If I understood this correctly Rehoboam takes the advice of the wrong crowd and loses favor with God. Since his followers still believe God keeps them from total destruction.
I am not sure again, but this psalm seems to be understanding that God has placed them in this place, but that they still have the faith in the fact that God will protect them from the foes that he has placed in their path.

I think this is correct. But it also seems toward the end that Rehoboam tries to redeem himself. But again it sounds like we will hear more later on somewhere in the bible. I don't understand why he chose to listen to the wrong people. I guess it's a choice still, free will. But when the people rebel against him it seems that should have been a sign. Although some people don't handle their position well.
I am getting distracted. There is alot going on in the room right now and that is probably why. I think your interpretation seems right. It starts about God rejecting them yet at the end it says with God they will gain the victory.
