I don't know if some of this was in other books or not, but I feel like I have read this before already. It talks about living in a pagan society and to do that you must submit yourself to God and to those in authority. That doing so, you honor God. Chapter 3 talks about wives submitting to their husbands and husbands being considerate of their wives, treating them with respect. Sometimes I wonder if this is a reason, I don't feel treated properly. Like I am not doing as God asks in regard to my husband, so in turn I am not getting what I need. I don't know that is always the case, but sometimes I have to ask myself that.
The last line stands out to me. "See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting." I think this psalm is saying that God knows all and sees all, and we can hide nothing from him. That we must live like that, like we are always being watched.

I think that this is a hard one for people to understand. When we have to submit to an authority that we are not comfortable with. We need to remember though that we cannot grow if we are not challenged. With regards to the second part, there is a possibility of that. I have wondered the same thing.
We can hide nothing from him. I think it's also asking to be lead in the right direction.
