Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗י
(Some words not found in UHB: for_the,director in/on/at/with,stringed_instruments psalm of,David )
Here the possessive could mean: (1) “my righteous God,” or (2) “God who vindicates me.” Both options are grammatically possible, and both fit the context well. The following relative clause (verse 2b), which highlights God’s past faithfulness, may suggest that it is God’s righteousness that is in view (hence the UST rendering). You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers.
