This passage appears to be the renewal of the covenant and laws rewritten on new stone tablets. It is yet another 40 days and nights that Moses is gone from the people and bringing back the same as before as everything is written again. But for some reason this time Moses comes back down with a glowing face after speaking to God and the people have not turned away as before. Now every time he comes back from conversing with God his face is glowing. I am unsure of the significance of this. The book says he is radiating God's glory but that is not what I got from the reading.
The psalm sounds like they are being reprimanded by God. The bible version on my phone prefaces this passage with "God as Judge". It seems that people are being spoken to very harshly and then at the end it says those that remembers God in action and offering will be given salvation.

I don't think I can say much more than you did about the passages for today. What I got from the Psalm is that it's more of reminder that God is judge and not us. That is kind of how I took that.
