Psalms 75:2-5
“At the set time that I appoint
I will judge with equity.
When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants,
it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah
I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
and to the wicked, Do not lift up your horn;
do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with haughty neck.’”

Psalm 73 is about God giving assurance to the believe that He is in control even when we think the earth is about collapse on its axis. God is holding it all together. In Psalm 11 we read a similar theme where God is assuring of a similar fear as in the above passage:
Psalms 11:1-3
In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
“Flee like a bird to your mountain,
for behold, the wicked bend the bow;
they have fitted their arrow to the string
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
if the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
If the "foundations are destroyed" what can the righteous do? In the Psalm 73 passage we read that in such times we are to remember that God is in complete and utter control of the situation. It might feel like the earth is about to tip over. However, God assures us that He is in control. As the earth totters out of balance God states, "... it is I who keep steady its pillars." What a great theme to rejoice over!! When everything feels like it is falling apart it is God who says, "It is I who keep steady its pillars." When my life is crashing all around me I must remember God is saying, "It is I who keep steady its pillars!!"
