"Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!"

Out of this psalm, which begins in anguish, we find a crescendo of trust. While circumstances may appear grim, God will not leave His children. Those who honor God will not be forgotten. Far from disregarding His children, God has stored up His kindness, which He will freely pour out on them to indicate that they are His. Those who seek shelter in Him will be protected and blessed. For those on this side of Jesus' resurrection, this promise of blessing and vindication takes on greater depth and meaning, as well as deeper certainty.
