The 112th Psalm is a pretty encouraging one that demonstrates how safe and secure a mindset a person can have when they fully trust God, no matter what kind of tragedy or adversity befalls him.
It starts out saying "blessed is the man who fears the LORD." This isn't to say that God will bless someone just because he fears Him, does it? Although, any blessing does come from God. Perhaps the blessing is the security and assurance that comes from trusting in God.
Look at the bad things that can (and likely will) occur...darkness and bad news. When God is the center, there is no need to fear or go crazy. Light dawns in darkness. A righteous man will not be shaken. He will have victory over his foes, while they will be vexed and shattered.
That is good news.
