Verb (abbreviation of verb) a brief explanation of poetry

David talked about the wicked in the previous article 36 (see section 1, 1 1), and then continued this theme in article 39. When he was old, he wrote Article 37 (verse 25), in which he discussed an old question: Why do the righteous suffer and the wicked prosper? Perhaps David wrote this poem to prepare Solomon for the throne (1 Kings 2: 3; Reference 23 17-18, 24 19-20). However, people who believe in God sometimes wonder why God allows people to prosper while the righteous suffer. The word "villain" appears fourteen times in this poem. The theological view of this article is based on the contract between God and Israel, which is recorded in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 27-30. God owns this land, and if the Israeli people listen to him, they can live in this land and enjoy its blessings; If you don't listen, you will be punished by God here (foreign invasion, drought, famine); If you continue to resist, you will be expelled from this place by God. Chapters 1 1, 33 and 28; Lexxvi 3- 10)。 But now it seems that the wicked do everything well, but God stands by (see Chapter 12). The righteous can choose not to be satisfied (1, verses 7-8) or leave this place (verse 3), or they can choose to remain loyal and trust God to keep his promise (verses 3, 5, 7, 34 and 39). Just like any mature believer who has experienced hardships personally, David looks at this situation from a long-term perspective and measures current and short-term things with an ultimate and eternal vision. He encouraged Solomon and the people to believe God's promise and wait for him. In the poem, David promised four exciting things to believers who doubted whether God was in charge of the world (dancing for 49 hours and 73 hours).

① God is credible (section1-11); ② God understands your situation (12-20); ③ God bless his people (21-31); God judges the wicked (32-40).
