So if the Psalms of Ascent are to be looked at as a set and this one being the first one in the set then we should look at it as the first step as we come to God. (I'll admit that I haven't read all fifteen psalms today so as I read through them this whole line of thought may change.) :-)
The first step then is to acknowledge that when we are in trouble we should cry out to God.
The psalmist was surrounded or "dwelt" among a bunch of people wanting war - probably with him. He wanted peace, but they wanted war. When we find ourselves surrounded by those against us we should cry out to God knowing He hears.
