Faith from Past Faithfulness
Commentators explain that this verse provides a powerful model for prayer during suffering. The psalmist argues from God's past actions to His present character. By recalling God's care during the utter helplessness of birth and infancy, he builds a case for trusting God in his current crisis. This teaches us to anchor our present faith in the memory of God's lifelong faithfulness.
