The whole reason that Jesus lowered Himself , suffered, and worked the works of righteousness is because He wanted us to value that work by being successful in what we desire according to the value of His suffering that earned the freedom and success that we have through substitution.
The christian life is the only life where weakness and sinfulness is a an advantage. In our former lives weakness and sinfulness generated guilt, fear and failure. Since the christian life is turned upside down we give up control because strength and forgiveness come out of weakness and sin. This is why the Psalmist makes a clear difference between the wicked who react with violence because they trying to control their success.
