I read that it was a psalm of longing and expectation, which is not how I interpreted it at all on the first read.
When I read it, I think I was reading it in the light of Jesus, which may have been missing the point altogether.
7 No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.
But Jesus hung out with the sinners
8 Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
Oh dear, I couldn't see Jesus in this at all.
So, obviously, interpreting this psalm in the light of Jesus was the wrong way to read it.
