Twice in this psalm the writer brings the needs of the afflicted to God's attention. We know that God was attentive to the suffering of Israel throughout her history; during the times of her weakness. In those time the faith of the people grew and they joined together as one people. The writer looks upon the suffering of the weak, or quite possibly is the one suffering the abuse, and he cries out for God to act. In Peter's letter he urged Christians to endure the abuse when we have done nothing wrong. Then Christ will receive the glory by showing the strength and peace that he provides for us to bring us through the struggle (1 Peter 2:20-23).
It took me about 2 minutes to read this psalm.
