I don't think that I have read many of these earlier psalms and what I'm realizing is that David urges us to trust in the Lord. He presses on the important knowledge of God's all powerful control.
In verse 6, he says, "Let Him rain coal on the wicked", I focused on the word let.
David used that word and in doing so he highlights our human nature to need control of things. 'Let' opens the way for 'allow' and 'surrender'.
In psalm one, I found a caretaker and here it is clear that I need to trust in his promise of justice, provision and might control in my life. I need to let Him have his way.
He is in control and more than able.
God will take care of us. We are his beloved. The other day at the Tabernacle, I learned about God the covenant keeping God. If God makes a promise He will uphold it.
Psalm 12:8 "The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times."
