In versus 49-56 the Psalmist is continuing to experience delay in the promises God has personally given him. He continues down the paths God has told him to take, holding onto God’s law, but continues to see the proud “deride” him. He then sees the pain in his heart of those who continue to disobey God and see the judgment coming to them and is sorrowful over it if they don’t repent. Verse 56 the writer sees the silver lining in all of this; seeing the beauty of God’s grace in his life by obeying God in many different ways.
