Psalm 35
The Motto of the British Royal family is "Dieu et mon droit" - which translates as "God and my right". Perhaps it would be better as the motto for David?
In this Psalm David asks God to be on his side - to take arms against David's enemies.
I don't know when in David's life this psalm would have been written - it is likely during one of the many periods of his life when people were trying to kill him!
The psalm carries on in a similar vein - David is interrogated about things he knows nothing about, his enemies lay traps for him,
The last verse is a declaration that David will proclaim god's righteousness and praises all day long.
Psalm 36
This seems to follow on from Psalm 35 -
"I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked, there is no fear of God before their eyes"
God's love however reaches to the heavens and faithfulness to the skies, God's righteousness reaches to the mountain heights, his justice to the deeps of the seas.
God preserves life on earth and people take refuge in God's unfailing love
We feast at the abundance of Gods house and drink from his river of delights, for with God is the fountain of life and by his light we see light.
God's love continues for generations.
the evildoers in the end will lie fallen and unable to get up
