David continues organizing his followers.
This psalm tells us not to fear in times of trouble. We also need to realize that although it looks as if the unrighteous are being blessed because they have more than we do doesn't mean that they will have everlasting life. Don't be jealous of what we don't have, but remember that we have more than others as followers of God's Word.

This section does go into detail of David's followers, organizing the Musicians and the Gatekeepers for the Lords temple. I had to look up casting lots again as this is used often in the bible. It seems to be a lottery system or sorting system like a roll of the dice as it's described. I was trying to understand it as it is used in this passage. Also, it is interesting that each son and their line is responsible for something having to do with the temple. When I read it, it feels like just an honor to be assigned a position to take care of the Lord's temple. I wonder if the people felt that way in that time. And as far as prophesying, is it possible to find a prophet in today's time? One that could help guide you to God's will for you? It seems like in biblical times that God was speaking thru them or they were relaying the word from God to whomever it was meant for. Are there prophets today and if so where are they hiding?
Your interpretation of the psalm seems spot on.
