1-2 God, put an end to evil; avenging God, show your colors!
Judge of the earth, take your stand; throw the book at the arrogant.
3-4 God, the wicked get away with murder— how long will you let this go on?
They brag and boast and crow about their crimes!
5-7 They walk all over your people, God, exploit and abuse your precious people. They take out anyone who gets in their way; if they can't use them, they kill them. They think, "God isn't looking, Jacob's God is out to lunch."
8-11 Well, think again, you idiots, fools—how long before you get smart?
Do you think Ear-Maker doesn't hear, Eye-Shaper doesn't see? Do you think the trainer of nations doesn't correct, the teacher of Adam doesn't know? God knows, all right— knows your stupidity, sees your shallowness.
12-15 How blessed the man you train, God, the woman you instruct in your Word,
providing a circle of quiet within the clamor of evil, while a jail is being built for the wicked. God will never walk away from his people, never desert his precious people.
Rest assured that justice is on its way and every good heart put right."
That's quite a Psalm!!!
God sees and knows the hearts of humanity. And there are times in our lives when we must take heed of the psalmist and listen to his plea to God. And the psalmist doesn't pull any punches in his "discussion" with God, either!!!
There are times when it seems like there is no justice, when evil people continue on with their evil deeds, making life unbearable for others.
I'd say by the sound of this psalm, that anyone who is knowingly walking over people, who are arrogant and shallow; who brag and lie and scheme............justice is on it's way!!!
