This Psalm has the same cry as Psalm 9, for the Lord to ARISE and punish the wicked; those who say "God is dead."

Another great study technique is noticing key words. This is generally a repeated word that is significant. It helps to draw out the message in the Psalm and bring it home. In this Psalm the repeated word that stood out to me is "seeing." I find the different ways that it is used thought provoking.

1) The wicked do not "see" the punishment awaiting them (v. 5b).
2) They think God does not "see" what they do (v. 11)
3) We are assured that God "sees" the trouble they cause; He will punish them (if they don't repent) and will bring justice to the oppressed (v. 14).

We have had so much religious and political freedom in our country that we may not appreciate what it is to be so oppressed that we cry out to God to be free of evil oppressors. But don't forget that there will be a day of accounting for the proud and lawless. So don't grow weary in doing well.

God bless!
