El salmista reflexiona sobre el eterno refugio que Dios es para quienes lo siguen y la inexorable realidad de la muerte, consecuencia de nuestra maldad.Entre ambas realidades brotan la misericordia y el favor de Dios y, con ellos, nuestra esperanza de mejores días, a pesar de cómo somos nosotros y nosotras.El salmo busca la sabiduría para vivir con entrega e intensidad, para tener la oportunidad de llenar la vida de sentido al servir a Dios en los demás. Y esto con la plena confianza de que Dios ha de prosperar nuestras labores y responder a nuestro ruego.
