In less than 2 minutes I read this psalm of David. This is not the last psalm attributed to David. This psalm is a song that focuses on God's love and justice. It seems like our society can not marry those two concepts, yet David saw them as godly attributes that flow directly, and simultaneously, from God's nature. Our culture focuses a lot of attention on love, but shy's away from justice; especially God's justice. I think that God's justice has been relagated to the same cultural closet as death. Neither one of these topics are "crowd pleasers." David not only shouts his praise to God for his love and justice, but writes about looking for those people who exhibit those traits so that he can surround himself with people who's lives more closely reflect God's nature. That should probably be the same focus for us.
