This passage talks of the fall of Jerusalem and king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. At this point, God is so angry at the people that he scatters them or they are removed from the land and Babylon takes over. The Babylonians have taken all the things from the temple of the Lord, and the people of Judah are in captivity at this point. This section is very sad to me.
The psalm says if you confess your sin to God you will be forgiven. Be faithful and pray and you will be guided on the right path. Do not be like the horse or mule that have to be controlled.

This just felt like an unceremonial end to this chapter. We continue with kings that don't want to do what God wants so he finally handles it. It is very sad that people can't make good choices and always opt for those of evil.
We are blessed because God will forgive if we confess our sins to him. Acknowledging our sins is important to show that we know that we have done wrong. We should be joyful that we are blessed in this way and that he is gracious enough to forgive us.
