God watches over you.
Psalms, like Proverbs, is a book of wisdom, it is in the bible to teach us about the Lord and his Word. The Psalms were written to praise, worship, and confess to God through poetry. The bible is timeless. The wisdom in Psalms was true when David, Asaph, Solomon and others wrote them, and it is true today. Many of the Worship hymns sung on Sunday mornings in churches are rooted in Psalms.
God watches over you. He looks every step that you take and guides you under his care.
-v. 6 gives us a promise that the Lord watches over the righteous. No one is righteous except through him. (Romans 3:19-31 in context) Rom 3:22-23 "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, (23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." He is promising that those who obey him, have faith in him, and desire to draw near to him will be made righteous in him. God's promise here does not say that nothing bad will happen to his people, believing that is foolhardy. But God's will is always in his peoples best interests. Take the book of Philippians, which Paul wrote from prison. Philippians 4:19, "My God will meet all your needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus" It amazes me that Paul, in prison, has so much faith in the Will of God that he is content wherever God has him, even in a cold, dank prison. I pray that God would give me faith like Pauls and I praise him that he is working in my life to accomplish the good work that he started.
