This is a Psalm of praise to the Lord for His pure majesty and awe. Unlike many of the Psalms, there is no reference to any individual situation here. We need to have an intimate conversation with God about our lives, but we also need to have times when we forget about ourselves and just worship God purely for who He is.
The Lord reigns and is robed in majesty and strength. Whatever is going on in your life today, these things are still true. The Lord existed before time, He has always been, He is outside of and beyond time. The world is dependent upon the Lord, He is not dependent upon the world. Atheists look to the material world to seek to understand how the universe works, and to understand it's reason. This is futile, for they are looking in the wrong place. They are not looking at the source.
Nature is wonderful and awesome, but it is a reflection of the Lord's wonder and awesomeness. And the Lord is infinitely greater.
But it is not just the physical attributes that declare the greatness of God. The moral attributes of the Lord are to be praised as well. The commands of the Lord are reliable and trustworthy. A country that seeks to make them its foundation will prosper, a nation that abandons them (as we are doing) will founder.
