“The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;”
This psalm for the king opens with prayer that God answer the king in the day of trouble and send help from the sanctuary. The mention of day of trouble suggests the king faces military or political crisis. The send from sanctuary suggests that divine aid originates from God's dwelling place. The opening establishes the king as the primary subject and establishes prayer as the response to royal peril.
