The righteousness of God as a high tower is a recurring frame in David’s Psalms. He was wronged, betrayed, and maligned. He depended on the righteousness of God to defend and vindicate him.

In Psalm 10, God gives a warning to the wicked, even though they think they can act without consequences, ultimately God will hold them to account. Psalm 60 claims victory for the humble and Psalm 110 is one of the clearest Messianic Psalms where the Father tells the Son to sit at his right hand until his enemies are made a footstool under his feet.

The refrain through Psalm 9, Psalm 59, and Psalm 109 is that the Lord is a refuge in times of trouble. A high tower, a fortress of safety, for those who trust in him. He will judge rightly and the righteous will be vindicated.

David rejoices in the majesty of the Lord in Psalm 8. Psalm 58 is an expression of confidence in the justice of God, and in Psalm 108 he expresses his confidence in the faithfulness of God and his deliverance.

This set of Psalms is about calling on God for righteous judgment and justice. David calls on God to take up his case and render justice. In the last part of 107, he makes a very accurate observation on how many people wait until they are in dire straights to start the conversation with God. Let us not be one of their number, but let His praise be continually in our mouths.
