In these troubling times the Lord is still in control and we are called on to simply not fret, trust, take delight, commit, be still, turn from evil, do good and always hope.

How does God reveal himself in this passage would you say?

@Perusamus Maximus - I'd say the main message of the psalm is that we live wiser and less anxious lives if we trust God. So God is revealed as trustworthy, as caring for us, as calling us to live holy lives, as being above all human schemes and power.

But there's always so much in Scripture, so you might come up with other things.

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?

Chris Juby

I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.

These are the summaries of the book of Psalms.

They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
