This lifetime is risk oriented, and how to manage (risk)? How does God save the meek of the earth?
Psalm 76:1-7 KJV
[1] In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. [2] In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. [3] There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. [4] Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. [5] The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. [6] At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. [7] Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
Psalm 74:1-23 KJV
[1] O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? [2] Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. [3] Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. [4] Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. [5] A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. [6] But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. [7] They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. [8] They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. [9] We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. [10] O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? [11] Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. [12] For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. [13] Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. [14] Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. [15] Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. [16] The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. [17] Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. [18] Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. [19] O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked : forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. [20] Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. [21] O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. [22] Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. [23] Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
Psalm 75:1-10 KJV
[1] Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. [2] When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. [3] The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. [4] I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: [5] Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. [6] For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. [7] But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. [8] For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. [9] But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. [10] All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
Psalm 76:8-12 KJV
[8] Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, [9] When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. [10] Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. [11] Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. [12] He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
