11:1-3 In the midst of danger and oppression, David chose to put his trust in God. Instead of panicking and abandoning his faith, David reinforced it with confidence in God. The situation seemed hopeless, impossible to escape. Yet David was a child of hope, a son of a Father who makes all things possible. He remembered that, especially in the most crucial moments of his life, and it changed the outcome every time.
11:4-6 It was a comfort to David that God weighed the hearts, the actions, of every person. David knew that God distinguishes between the innocent and the guilty, the righteous and the corrupt. Though many doubt or deny it, there is order in the world. God has established it and enforces it. David knew that God would determine what happened to him and that gave him the strength to endure.
11:7 God is and has established righteousness as the benchmark, the standard, the be-all-end-all. And He will uphold it; He will enforce it.
