This Psalm focuses on God being faithful to his covenant because God is. The psalmist focuses on all the things that have happened and gone wrong. It focuses on how the enemy is an affront to God and not just that they are hurting Israel. This is the key to the psalm. God, this isn't about what we want, it's about you. Yes, we understand that God brought the judgment because of Israel's sin, but Israel's redemption will be and was because of God's faithfulness. This is what the psalmist is looking to. On a different note, this psalm isn't denying Israel's responsibility; it's just not talking about it right now.
