The whole passage talks about how God is a refuge for the righteous, and how he protects them during times of famine and trouble, unlike the wicked who may prosper for a time, but in the day of trouble can only wail with despair as God turns a blind eye to their suffering.
I quietly announced last month that I believe the nation and the world will soon be facing another time of economic hardship. Even though our dear Federal Reserve Chair is desperately singing and dancing to the emperor's tune of "everything's fine," there are plenty of skeptics out there who have said that at best the numbers are fishy, and at worst the US government is only marginally better than the Chinese (who are well-known for simply inventing statistics that support their government policies).
When it comes to an interest rate hike, I'm ambivalent. On the one hand, we've been at zero percent (or very nearly) interest rates since the Global Recession seven years ago, so it's high time that we got off the floor in order to dissuade companies from engaging in the same ridiculous business practices which caused each of the last major financial crises in the first place. On the other hand, since we never really solved the problems of the last recessions (we merely kicked the can down the road in time-honored American fashion), a rise in interest rates would likely expose the colossal fault lines in our economic system.
