“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v3). With the foundations of society collapsing, the psalmist heard the call to escape: “Flee like a bird to your mountain” (v1). Although the darkness was full of danger (v2), the psalmist refused to panic. Instead, he said, “in the Lord I take refuge” (v1). Amid turmoil, the psalmist stood firmly on the rock of God’s unshakeable reign: “the Lord is in his holy temple” (v4). God sees clearly and judges right and wrong, even in confusing circumstances (v4-6).
“For the Lord is righteous ... the upright shall behold his face” (v7). When the world around us is shaking, we can look at our Lord, see His goodness, and take courage. His kingdom will prevail.
