PS10
How can You let your name be so misused?
Allow your people be tied to evil?
They could shoot a man in open daylight,
insight a rebellion, own army,
unleash blatant crimes uncalled to account,
and the people called by your name just say,
“He stands against the REAL evil people!”
Have You forgotten? Why hide You your face?
Break their arm! Call wickedness to account!
Allow men of the earth to strike terror… No more!

(Notes from 9/10/1998) “Why?”
There is a song popular at church this year that we sang at revival. It says, “God is good, all the time.” I always wonder if it would be popular if things were going wrong.
Why do bad things happen, and wicked people succeed? Why does God, at times, seem to hide His face? This is an age-old question, not a new one. An age-old answer to it is that God does not exist. We see “atheism” even in David’s day as evidenced in verse 4: “As long as there is no God, we can do what we want,” is the attitude of the wicked. The believer has a different attitude: Faith. This Psalm doesn’t see God more in its day. It looks forward in faith to a new day, an eschaton where the men of earth will be trouble no more!
