A psalm lamenting falsehood and deceit, yet affirming God’s defence of the poor and the purity of His word. In an age where truth has vanished, the Lord Himself rises to protect the faithful and to purify speech like silver in the fire.
A psalm of trust in God’s justice. The wicked prepare their bow in secret, but the righteous take refuge in the Lord, who sees and judges all. The psalm closes with the promise that the upright shall behold His face.
