Summary: The psalmist paints a mental picture of a person of God. Such a person is blessed and stable, gaining wealth honestly and trusting God in good and bad times.
Response: Just as the "kill 'em all" psalms strike me as a thought process given too much time, this one too is a bit misleading if this is your benchmark for success. It fits into what is today known as prosperity gospel, that God wants you to be rich for your own benefit. I can see cracks in that, that the exemplar here gives to the poor and has a great attitude, but it still seems less to God's glory than his own. Lord, keep me content where you have me, move me when I need moved, and use me when I can be used.
