The psalmist begins his writing by describing his struggles to not be like the wicked. There was an internal conflict pitting his fruitlessness in faithfulness when compared to the gains of the wicked. Then he visited the temple and saw the error of wickedness (vs 16-17). What was it he saw at the temple? Was it the beauty of the structure? Was it the rituals of the priest? Was it the sacrifice of the animals? Was It the celebration of the Passover or harvest, or tabernacles? What was it that the psalmist witnessed that opened his eyes to the bounty of serving God and the bankruptcy of sinful rebellion?
