Contemplation (verse 19)
Does the psalmist say: ‘If the Christians become righteous, and listen to my words, they will not suffer tribulations?’ … No, that is not his promise; but actually, the wicked may suffer less tribulations; while the righteous may suffer more of them. But the former, passing through less tribulations, or no tribulation at all, will reach an everlasting tribulation, from which they will have no deliverance; While the righteous will come to enjoy the everlasting peace after their long suffering
+ St Augustine

Personal Reflection
It says that God is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those with a contrite spirit… have I ever experienced this? Or seen someone experience this?

Lord, please enable us to feel You near us when we are broken and contrite… teach us what it means to fear You, to receive these blessings from You
