In these passages David compares God’s treatment of the wicked and the righteous. Regarding the wicked, David says, “Thou hast rebuked the nations; Thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.” However, regarding the righteous David says, “Those who know thy name will put their trust in Thee. For Thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek Thee.”
God is just. He will judge rightly between the good and the bad. However, justice is elusive in today’s world. Many of the wicked are not punished for their deeds. And many of the righteous are persecuted. As a result, the wicked may perceive that they are getting away with their wicked deeds. However, God is the real judge, not man-made courts.
The Bible says that whatever you sow you will reap. Those who sow wickedness will reap destruction. Those who sow righteousness will reap everlasting life.
