Psalm 146

Commentary

In times of trial and difficulty, it is easy to lose sight of God's goodness and faithfulness. The psalmist reminds us that God is always worthy of our praise and trust, regardless of our circumstances. He encourages us to rely on God and not on human strength, for only God can truly provide us with lasting security and hope. The psalmist also points out God's particular concern for the marginalized and oppressed, reminding us of our duty to care for those in need. Ultimately, Psalm 146 reminds us that our hope is not in ourselves, but in God alone, who reigns supreme over all things.
