In God, whose word I praise,David praises God's word, as he well should. He knows what God has said, and the promises God has made for those who obey Him. He praises God for those promises, and for providing the opportunity to reach those goals. Therefore, he is not afraid of anything.
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not be afraid.
What can mere man do to me?
He asks what man can do. Man could kill him, but that would merely allow him to see God all the sooner. Man could cause pain and suffering, but compared to eternity any pain would be so short as to be unnoticed, and possibly garner him greater reward from God. So what can man do that should cause David to fear them, when he has God on his side?
