It seems that this Psalm was written in response to malicious slander being spread about David. I often wonder, given the never ceasing attacks in various forms which he dealt with ever day, how he continued. But the end of this Psalm shows that despite the turmoil around him he knows the peace of God and can therefore sleep. For much of this time the peace of God was the only peace he knew. When things aren't great in our lives we can know and be assured by the peace of God.
