“Why, O Lord, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” (v1). The psalmist wondered why God would allow “the wicked” to terrorize others and boast of their power (v2-3). Ungodly individuals denied God’s existence and prospered anyway, harming the weak and declaring confidently, “throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity” (v6). But, the psalmist affirmed, God saw everything; at the right time, He promised to bring “justice to the fatherless and the oppressed” (v18).

“The Lord is king forever and ever” (v16). Nations rise and fall, and sometimes it looks like evil is temporarily winning. But God is King forever, and he has appointed Jesus as the judge who will have the last word (Rom 2:16).
