A Plea Based on Promise
Commentators explain that the plea "for your servant David's sake" is not an appeal to David's personal perfection but to God's covenant and promises made with him. This teaches that our confidence before God rests on His faithfulness to His promises, not on our own merit. The request is for God to remember His covenant.
