This Psalm is teaching God is only one who displays love and faithfulness. He begins by saying to God,"Do not grant me credit for any accomplishments."All life gracefully comes from God, but dying man is responsible for brutal destruction and death. Why would he recover hope outside of his own choices? Why would he hope in God sovereignty? Why would he be encouraged that everything is accomplished by man leads to total hopelessness?

The first principal reason is God declared all of creation into existence.Before the foundation of the world God developed the beginning from the end.Gods covenant promise originates from His creative pronouncement.He glorifies His work of creation and recreation. He receives genuine praise for His creative work displaying attributes in beauty and symmetry of the created object.But when sin entered the world God methodically destroys the corruption and faithfully recreates it conforming to His good pleasure. Man naturally creates his own god with his hands. Anytime we think about a created object that does not rise up to the valuable view of God, we make an idol.Because we do not view as God, we produce idols by our corrupt imagination If we were capable of rising up to Gods beautiful view we would be instantly evaporated into the air. 

 Everything that we examine is evaluated by our false standard of Gods beauty. Our comprehensive knowledge and moral judgement can never match Gods comprehensive view of creation.We are idol makers who trust in fictitious judgement of Gods value. We vicariously experience corrupted tension in morally opposing peoples view of value. We speak violently against our prospective neighbor in promoting our notable success. We can be liberated when we put to death creating an idol of our neighbor.  

  We humbly trust all things must die by Gods right to be the chief judge.We value Gods sovereign judgements and properly promote the laws demands of death. We relinquish our own power to amend Gods Law and defend ourselves by what we do. This Psalm is instructing when justice is reasonably satisfied by anything short of death then he brings judgement upon himself. Gods curse is regulated by a sliding scale of mans effort.He is teaching that Gods grace is only free when there is no reason to receive it by the value of the object.This is enforced by Gods authoritative pronouncement of death to anyone who is corrupted. We believe God controls all creation by allowing and preventing.
