No tears are wasted for a righteous person answers suffering of himself and others by seeking the divine for life because faith endures. Martin Luther wrote in his book “A Manual on the Book of Psalms,” “These internal fears and terrors, under which all the godly agonize and sweat, will, of necessity, one day wholly swallow up the hypocrites who are destitute of the word.” (Pg.40 LutheranLibrary.org translated by Henry Cole) Our banner is Mercy because only in life can we keep His commandments.
Our refuge is in the divine when we are falsely accused, for at the “End of Days,” He will judge the world. The Lord is a shield to those who trust in Him. The praise of the Almighty is over all creation, but the tetragrammaton is a special manifestation as John Calvin wrote in his “Commentary on Psalm Vol. I” this,
“ There is presented to us in the whole order of nature, the most abundant matter for showing forth the glory of God, but, as we are unquestionably more powerfully affected with what we ourselves experience, David here, with great propriety, expressly celebrates the special favor which God manifests towards mankind; for this, of all the subjects which come under our contemplation, is the brightest mirror in which we can behold his glory.” (Pg.118)
God came down to earth in the person of Yeshua to atone for sins, but will return as a glorious King. The whole being of a child of God is expressed in praise to Him. The Holy One rebukes the nation but is likewise a refuge for the oppressed. Wicked for in their own devices for they have no fear of the divine. May the Lord give us pity.
The Lord appears distant to us. Atheism greats vanity as the divine is replaced with deities of the mind. Such creates unfounded confidence. The evil speech is loud and violent. Pain fallows as the innocent are crushed by the wicked. God sees that pain. The Lord is King of All and protects the week as Ex 22:22-24 says, “You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. If you afflict him at all, and if he does cry out to Me, I will surely hear his cry; and My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.”NASU
