Man tries to gain peace by control and power. We are by nature control freaks. But this leads only to frustration and anxiety. The fact is that we are not and cannot control everything. We cannot work everything out. Now, we must not go to the other extreme and think that we should not try and understand the world, this is equally wrong and stupid. Instead we accept our place in the scheme of things. God is God and we are not. We find peace by quieting our souls in God's presence. Trusting in God is the only way to peace. He is the source of our security.
Let everyone put their hope in God.
This is a very short Psalm, but there is much to be gained by dwelling on its simple message.
