Today there is a need for God’s people to display a righteous indignation. May we never complacently accept babies being aborted, the poor being exploited and politicians breaking the law. God does not want people in authority to use their authority for themselves. A true statesman uses his authority to build people and his country. David was righteously indignant when he wrote this psalm. He was not angry but anguished.
The misuse of authority is an age-old problem. The righteous will one day enjoy the victory of God. He is patiently waiting to judge the world. When that happens, God will be vindicated and Jesus will be glorified.
God’s people may confidently express their righteous indignation, for we know that He will one day judge corrupt leaders. Praise Him for His coming victory and vindication.
