We are reminded of the qualities that we should possess as followers of God. The author even recognizes that they are repeating these, but mentions that they are intentionally repeating to make sure that they are at the forefront of our minds and thoughts. They are also explaining that prophecy did not come from man's interpretation of God's Word, but from God himself.
God is our refuge. This psalm shows that he will take care of us and we should lean on him and give it all to him.

I didn't quite understand the section titled "Confirming one's calling and election". It seemed to be talking about realizing what our calling is or what God is guiding us to do. But I can't be certain. I did find it interesting that they spoke, in the second half, about actually hearing God's voice in relation to Jesus and letting them know he was sent by God and that he loves him and is well pleased with him. You don't really hear about people hearing the voice of God all that much.
This psalm is about crying out to God and asking to be set free from what they are going through. I feel like this is a prayer said by most people all the time.
