If we want to be secure we need to trust in the Lord. Every other source of security will let us down, but the Lord is our everlasting security. He guides us through all the events of life, and will even see us safe through death itself.
Jerusalem was in a mountainous region, and the Lord surrounds His people. He guards every aspect of our life. This very day, every aspect of your life is watched over by the Lord.
There are times when evil seems to triumph, but this is only temporary, it will not last forever. Now evil has a corrosive and corrupting effect, and this is part of the reason why God will not let evil rule forever. If we look at any countries where evil has reigned, whether it be apartheid in South Africa, communism, or various evil regimes, we see that it has a lasting malign legacy, even after it has gone.
Then the Psalmist calls on God to bless the good and punish the evildoers.
