Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.
Today I have just a thumbnail sketch of the way I look at a Psalm. You can allow the Scripture to fill in the blanks.
Praise belongs to God
v. 3 Not to humans
v. 4 because they pass away
v. 5 Eternal hope comes from God “of Jacob” - - intergenerational
v. 6 who made everything
Not only is God eternal, but . . .
He keeps faith forever v. 6
executes justice v. 7
feeds hungry
releases prisoners
heals blind v. 8
relieves oppression
loves righteous
cares for foreigners v. 9
defends those without family
stops the wicked
Summary - God reigns forever
