Ps 5 8 Lead me, O LORD , in your righteousness
because of my enemies-make straight your way before me."

The natural way that men live in this world is by making plans and accomplishing their goals. But the Psalmist teaches that we cannot be happy by trying to control our own lives. So the Psalmist does not attempt to ignore the negative and focus on the positive. Because we are born in a world were we are describe by laws that have been redefined by man. He is contrasting Gods way of walking with our natural tendency to trust in our abilities. Lead me in "Your righteousness."

The Psalmist is saying that God has established our success through Christ. In other words Christ made the pronouncements in the Psalms yea and amen.He teaches that God has exalted His name and His word above all things. Christ fulfilled the laws demands, became the reality of the covenant promises,established the power of the cures to the ends of the earth, obtained the authority over all things and took the possessions of all things as the owner.

The Psalmist is saying that the wicked rulers of the earth use the law to create a path for us that is unstable. Gods law places value on each individual. The law pronounces death to anyone who goes outside of Gods boundaries in human relationships. Man naturally makes his plans without considering the kind of opposition that he will face. This is why Gods law is not really challenging each violation. But the purpose of Gods law is to constrain His elect. Because evil is not just an active wrong. It is also trying to overcome the weight of mans law. We are always tempted to trust ourselves from the view that steps are incomplete.But the Psalmist stands on the pronouncements that overcomes the power of evil rulers who force men to act beyond their ability. This is why the worse curses are directed toward the rulers because there is a natural disassociation between their occupation and the poor. They do not feel the weight of their rules that they put on the poor.

This is why the Psalmist teaches us that we are not predominately planners of our own lives. We are not happy under the weight of secularism. The world forces us into the mold by rewards and punishment. The apostle calls this following the course of the world. He is saying that Gods people live in a totally different kingdom by following Christ who has already made us complete. But the world teaches us that we are incomplete and we must follow their rules.

The Psalmist is teaching us a valuable lesson in order to avoid the pitfalls that weigh us down and force us to carry many traps Ps 5. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."

The Psalmist says that we must focus on words spoken. We are people who never become gullible or molded by the desires of other people. This is why the Psalmist spends His time pronouncing the gifts. God word is the lamp that we use to light our steps. Our temptation is to take our focus off of the pronouncements and go down a side road. The Psalmist says that its easy for us to be led astray. Every word that is spoken must be put through the heat of the furnace. 9" Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;their heart is filled with destruction". Their rules are unstable.

We must be aware that as society declines we forced to distrust the common phrases that are repeated. Everyone lives by the repeated maxims. The maxims are what the apostle calls pretensions and arguments. . 4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. You see our world is always detailed in the work we accomplish in identifying what we are hearing.

This is why we are miss understood. Because we are really made to be Gods cheerleaders. This is the joy of speaking the pronouncements. Everything that ever exist is a communication. You can be the most powerful country and be godless. Its not in the physical ability but its in the usage of the curses in war. Its not in the amount of money that one has but its in the pronouncement of the covenants and the promises. The most successful person in this world is the best cheerleader. No one believes a man who is just repeating a maxim. But all men are attracted to a man who responds negatively and positively in thinking , feeling, and acting in unity. The negative is just as enjoyable as the positive. The pleasure is chasing the evil with the curse. The pleasure is pronouncing the victory that is beyond the weight of wickedness. Life is reality by BEING. 10 Declare them guilty, O God!their intrigues be their downfall.Banish them for their many sins,for they have rebelled against you. 11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,that those who love your name may rejoice in you.12 For surely, O LORD , you bless the righteous;you surround them with your favor as with a shield. The Psalmist establishes the entire focus of the Psalms ..when we cheer God to judge and when we cheer God to grant success we become happy.
