He wasn’t impressed with all the pain going on in his life. אִם חֶסֶד אָשִירָה, אִם מִשְפָּט אָשִירָה Dovid sings to Hashem not only when life is comfortable, but even when he has difficulties. If you read Rabiner Hirsch on Tehillim (which R' Shimon Schwab Zatzal said was written with Ruach HaKodesh) the way he Teitches (defines) Dovid, it is full with his ability to weather the storms of life. Even sins; he had a capability that he wasn’t so impressed by things going wrong. It didn’t bother him the way it bothers other people. That’s Dovid. And we are waiting for Moshiach. You want him; let’s try to be like him.
