Return, O LORD, rescue my soul;David is pleading for God to save him. He seems to be in the midst of some long trial, and feels like he is losing. He cries out to God, for Him to come to his rescue, for he has no other options. He knows that he will not be able to persevere alone.
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.
He also knows that God has no reason that He needs to save him. He can only ask that God do it, for lack of a better term, out of the goodness of His heart. He throws himself upon God's mercy, because he knows he is undeserving. He cannot earn the right, or claim the privilege, of being saved. So if God is going to rescue him, He will do it simply because because He chooses to.
