Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
It is interesting that this passage focuses on a national viewpoint rather than on the individual. The reverse of the rest of this Psalm. The LORD is telling us that we have a national responsibility to be obedient to Him. It is our (individual) responsibility to guide our nation (corporate) in the ways it should go.
We as Christians and Ambassadors of the Kingdom of God are called to apply our Christian worldview to the society and the culture in which we live. And to do so in a manner which brings glory to the name of the LORD, God, the Almighty. Treat our adversaries with the gentleness and respect that we desire for ourselves.
