These two
psalms for today are primarily about praising God. As has been often said, He is our
salvation. He blesses us. He scatters His enemies before Him. He makes the righteous glad. He restores inheritances. There is much reason for Him to receive our
praise.
Look at what
the psalms say about His being. He rides
the heavens. The power of the Lord is in
the skies. He rules over the beasts of
the earth. He is master over
creation. There is even more reason for
Him to receive our praise.
Look at whom
the Lord tramples underfoot. He tramples
those who lust after money. He scatters
those who love war and strife. He looks
down those who persist in walking in their guilty ways. He makes the rebellious dwell in a parched
land. Those who hate Him flee. Even more reason to receive our praise.
Finally,
look at those to whom God’s favor falls upon.
In fact, there is something surprising about this list. God leads prisoners. God is a father to the fatherless. God is the protector of widows. Those who humble themselves and place
themselves within His flock find pasture with Him. It is the humbled ones of the world who find
dwelling with God.
