Hezekiah works to bring the Lord's temple back to proper operation according the God's law and then proceeds to bring the people back to God. Even though some people scorned and ridiculed the messengers, there were people whom returned to God and attended the Passover that Hezekiah made happen. He seems to be starting off well, he prays to God to forgive the people and God hears him.
This psalm is a bit confusing. It starts out sounding like he is taking responsibility for people's bad choices, then it sounds like he wants God to rescue him from his enemies wrath, then he is asking God to bring bad things upon his enemies, then he is singing God's praises. I am not sure what is happening in this one.

It's refreshing to read about a king that is actually doing things right. I hope that he continues to do that.
He starts asking God to save him and ends with praise in knowing that God will save him. It seems that he is praying to God continuously asking to be saved. In that time he is also being continuously further attacked by his enemies and asks God to take care of them. Then returns to asking to be saved and praising God because he know that God will save him.
