This is another Psalm of David. He starts by calling on God to arise and His enemies to be scattered. There are times when it seems that God's enemies are triumphing and that God is doing nothing about it. David longs for the righteous to be glad, happy and joyful.
David knows the character of God. He is a father to the fatherless, and a defender of widows. He sets prisoners free and looks after the lonely.
When God set out the earth trembled, and He sent abundant showers of rain. So His people occupied and prospered in the land. From this abundance God provided for the poor.
We then get more on the majesty of God, and His concern for the people.
So what is this Psalm all about? It is about the majesty of God and the character of God. His people should and must rely purely on Him. Indeed the whole world should look to the Lord, for it is only from Him that salvation and justice come.
