This very short psalm has a wonderful message for the end of a month: Adonai is King!
Though we don't live in a political kingdom we still understand many of the aspects. The kings word was final on any and every matter. The kings character was reflected in every part of the kingdom. It was the king's justice that was executed. The king determined how much each household was taxed. The king's word was life and death.
This psalm, written sometime after Samuel's leadership, set Adonai in the proper perspective with everything else in the world. For His people it was a proclamation of comfort. For his enemies it was a proclamation leading to fear. But most of all, it was a proclamation of truth.
