It would be tempting to read this psalm and think it's all about how awful people are. And there would be a good point to that- a broken world produces broken people. And just as broken glass cuts the skin, broken people have a way of hurting one another.
But what if this psalm, as a worship song, is really about God? In the face of monumental evil, the psalmist is talking about God who defends the fatherless and takes trouble and grief in His hand. For every person who is suffering and hurting, God is there and acts as the defender and comforter. For every broken person, there is Jesus broken on the cross. For every person who weeps and longs for something to bind the broken pieces together, God takes care of it personally.
My prayer is that this psalm reminds you of the gracious love of God in whatever you may face today.
Blessings always,
Andy
