Verse 3
David’s faint-hearted counselors evidently felt the very foundations of their nation were in danger of being destroyed, namely: the Mosaic Law and the institutions of Judaism. [Note: C. A. Briggs and E. G. Briggs, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Psalms , 1:89-90.] They felt distressed to the point of distraction over this possibility. Many faint-hearted people behave similarly today when they see foundational elements of their society under attack.
"God sometimes ’shakes things’ so that His people will work on building the church and not focus on maintaining the scaffolding (Hebrews 12:25-29; Haggai 2:6)." [Note: Wiersbe, The . . . Wisdom . . ., p. 109.]
