This Psalm is about Psalmist complaining to God about the wicked people and their wickedness.
and why wicked people prosper?
but ends up with saying God is King.
Wickedness is so natural for man.
but Godliness has to be worked out.
Being angry at someone your children is a natural. You don't need a big cause, you just need something to upset you. that is it, you will be angry.
Just a look at the money- greediness start. you don't have to workout for greedy. You can easily be greedy. But you have to work out for giving.
Wickedness is so quick and it is so fast, but godliness has to be worked out.
