Ps 62 9 Lowborn men are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie;
if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion
or take pride in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them."

The Psalmist is comparing the true value that God places on all creation with the history of the world as man becomes his own god and cheapens Gods creation. We are born in a world of extortion. God has given His law in order to save us from devaluing His creation. When we devalue Gods creation we enslave the creatures. Gods justice is measured by the eternal scale of addition and subtraction. Every thought of man from the beginning of time is weighed in the balance of Gods justice. When man fell into sin God had to pronounce death upon all law breakers in order to prevent the success of the devaluing effects of sin and corruption. We are all being extorted from our original glory in the garden and enslaved to sin and corruption.

God standard of justice is that man must practice perfect righteous in order to avoid being a stumbling block to his neighbor. We are required to image the perfect value of the law keeper. But when we were reduced to a very small percentage of our ability we began to devalue Gods creature and thus create our own image of other creatures. When we create our own images we enslave other men. We all face the tension of devaluing Gods creation and thus bringing pain into relationships.

So God had to pronounce extreme measures in order to free us from ourselves. He had to destroy our old will and replace it with His will. This new will is expressed in pronouncing Gods law, decrees, curses etc.This new will is the expression of real freedom over all opposition. These new desires expressed in the psalms are the renewed kingdom destroying Satans kingdom.

Without pronouncing these extreme words we are left to be tempted by the creation in order to establish our own kingdom with our own values. We must be constrained. We must be taught to value the pronouncements more than we value our own success. Without the pronouncements we are left to our own devices and we will become our own gods and destroy our neighbor. When we become our own gods we practice slavery by cheapening the value of our neighbor. When we become our own gods we curse ourselves and bring pain and misery. This is why the pronouncements are the invisible powers that create the kingdom of God in which we rule in order to create unity in our world. When we create unity all men are restored to true value.
