The psalmist saw the wicked prospering off the backs of the Lord's people and complained to God, one could even say violently, about how unfair it was that the wicked had everything they could ever want and no problems to boot. Yet, when the psalmist truly communed with God, he saw how ignorant and foolish he'd been and how wrong he was. For one thing, rich, ungodly people are constantly worried about losing their status and possessions. For another, God is going to judge those rich oppressors. (See the epistle of James.) People should desire to be like Jesus and live a life pleasing to the Heavenly Father, because, firstly, God is the ruler of the universe and, second, it is in Him we have our eternal reward.
