This passage from 2 Samuel may sound familiar. Because essentially, it's just a psalm pasted into another book of the Bible. A piece of praise for a miracle described earlier in the book. So instead of needing the background knowledge from another book, you just have to flip back a couple chapters to see why David is cheering for God.
And in this case, it's because God saved him from a raving madman who'd lost God's favor, on top of all of the other enemies of Israel.
This verse starts off the whole psalm with the declaration that God is a foundation upon which security is built. And as this psalm begins, so can our day - if we began everyday proclaiming what we know to be true, that God is the foundation of our day.
And then we can choose what we build upon that rock with the actions of our day.
