This Psalm is a mix of praise to God for His power, justice, judgment, and being a refuge along with humbling before Him for His power to judge righteously, destroy the wicked and have mercy.
10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Verse 20 really resonated with me in this place and time. There are so many bad and wicked things going on the world, the wars happening with Isis and in Gaza. Those not seeking the one and true God are lost in sin. They think they have power and are in control. They are causing so much pain and suffering, and the root of it is selfishness, greed, and a deep, deep dissatisfaction and unfulfilled, empty feeling. What's missing is the Lord, redemption, receiving grace, and turning from sin.
19 Arise, O Lord, let not man triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence. 20 Strike them with terror, O Lord; let the nations know they are but men.
