This is a sermon comparing an upright walk with a perverted walk.
This psalm closes as it begins with the declaration: “O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!” This statement sets the theme for the entire psalm. God establishes His excellence by His working with and blessings to mankind. Much of this psalm looks back to creation and to man’s original place there.
God shows through Job that what really matters is how things turn out in the end.
Surely the children of Israel will be thrilled to follow the One who loved them so much that He delivered them from the clutches of Egypt.
Job has gone through great trials without turning against God and cursing Him. However, he does complain of being unjustly persecuted and expects God to give him reasons for his suffering. In this chapter, God actually appears to Job.
