This is definitely a different writer from the one who pens the most annoying psalms — you know, the whiny ones that keep getting on my nerves and couldn’t be much triter.
Again, Asaph gets the writing credit, and he shucks down the corn — as any poet worth their salt and full of pepper would do — with pointed words like you’d see on Reddit.
Using references to many a natural wonder, Asaph asks YHWH why, if He’s so all-fired powerful, YAH doesn’t smack down bad people and cast all their lying asses asunder.
“Remember,” Asaph basically says, “they’re the actual fools. They’re the ones who don’t believe in you and laugh behind your back. They’re the ones who break all your rules.”
And then Asaph calls YHWH out. “Arise, O God,” he implores, “plead Your own cause” — that is, unless YAH just likes to pout or knows the comedic value of a well-timed pause.
