God's Grace in Our Folly

Commentators emphasize the word "Nevertheless" as a powerful turning point. After confessing his beast-like ignorance and envy, the psalmist realizes that despite his spiritual failure, God has not abandoned him. Scholars like Calvin explain this is due to God's "hidden grace," which holds onto us even when we are wandering in doubt. Your relationship with God is not sustained by your perfection, but by His persistent, gracious presence.
