Verse 1 apparently is about a place where David was hiding out and those who gave news to Saul who were living in that area. The "strangers and oppressors" were apparently godless people that added to David's misery by giving Saul fresh ammunition to go after him in hiding.
As with many other Psalms; David emphasizes God is His helper and perhaps those that "uphold his soul" could be angels of protection. Verses 5 and 7 show David's confidence that these enemies will be "cut off" since he had apparently seen that before.
Finally; verse 6 talks about praise and "freely sacrificing" to God. That would be as Psalm 51 indicates with a broken and contrite heart; as David wasn't qualified as king to do sacrifices except when he was commanded to on the threshing floor after the angel of destruction appeared there. That was apparently the site of the original Temple; but the Priests would normally be responsible for sacrifices. That would appear to be at a later date from this Psalm and others when Saul was no longer a threat and David was on the Throne.

Yes he is, beloved,
2 Kings 14:26
For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
Job 30:13
They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
Psalms 10:14
Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
Psalms 30:10
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
Psalms 54:4
Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
Psalms 72:12
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
Romans 16:9
Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
Hebrews 13:6
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Do you believe that God will break all of the promises He has made to Israel, the "apple of His eye?" ( Zechariah 2:8).
Are you convinced that He will just forget His chosen people ( Deuteronomy 7:6, Isaiah 44:1, etc., etc., etc.)
God is the Judge ( Psalms 54:1).
You search the Scriptures to try to condemn God's chosen people and call Jews cursed.
The Olive tree that your are trying to be grafted into as the wild branch are these same cursed Jews? Look at Romans 11:16-22.
And what are you going to do with the words of Luke in Acts 28:26-29?
Are we not going to believe another promise of God just so you can condemn our brothers?
26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
Will the Jews that love God not see and understand when the Messiah returns;
and "every knee" will bow? ( Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:11)
