This Psalm has 18 verses, and the first 11 paint a very dim vision of how the wicked treat their helpless victims:
The wicked catch the poor in their traps.
They're greedy and reject the Lord.
They succeed in everything and says conceitedly, "I will never be stopped. The Lord has abandoned you forever."
They curse and lie and threaten.
They hide and murder helpless victims.
Then, starting in verse 12, it gets turned around and we see how the Lord really treats those who do evil, wicked deeds. He has always helped the needy and diminishes the power of evil men.
God is forever, ruling the land until there are no other "gods" anywhere.
