Psalm 68 invites the nation of Israel to praise God for His goodness to them. He lead them out of Egypt, protected them in the travels, delivered them into the land He had promised them, and allowed them to thrive. This goodness should inspire other nations to rejoice in the faithfulness of this mighty and powerful God.
Psalm 69 expresses David's desire for help in times of trouble. The trouble is of his own causing - he has failed to live in the way God prescribed and is facing the consequences of those choices. Nevertheless, he prays to God, knowing that God will hear and be willing to forgive and restore. This song of despair turns to praise as David remembers the goodness of God's forgiveness.
