The Psalmist is respectfully informing that when we are redeemed we triumphantly enter into a blessed relationship with God. As a undesirable result of Adams fall God cursed the creation. But in the incarnation Christ willingly took the eternal curse upon Himself so that we could be blessed. Christ faced the consequences for us who by heart are law breakers so that we could be promptly declared righteous before God.Salvation shepherded us into a kingdom of blessing.We have been liberated from the eternal condemnation of the law. We were taken out of this cursed world and assuredly brought into the kingdom of blessing. The law presently remains an instrument of cursing that is used for our defense. The Psalmist pronounces a curse to adequately establish the eternal justice of God. 15As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; 16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more..... 19 The LORD has established his throne in heaven,and his kingdom rules over all."
We have been begotten into this new kingdom in which our Father is the paternal judge. We enter into a beneficial relationship of abundant blessing in which our Father remembers our moral weaknesses that cursed men conveniently forget and forgets our rebellious sins that cursed men instantly remember. God curses the wicked curse so that we can overcome all opposition. 6The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed." We enter into a blessed kingdom contained in the pronouncements of the law, covenants, curses, statutes, decrees and promises. The Psalmist is pronouncing the axioms upon Gods saints in this Psalm. He pronounces the law..6The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed..the curses... 15 As for man(enosh- evil man), his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;...the covenant... 8The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love, decree..19. The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all",statute...17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children- 18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts, promise.....2 Praise the LORD , O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- 2 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
God constituted man and ideally placed him in a garden. Gods creation was the display of the order and symmetry in pronouncing the axioms.But man inexplicably began redefining Gods word when sin entered into the world. The first act of sin was not just refining Gods word. This fallen angel subdued man by an acute threat.The first evil was perpetuated by an illicit use of Gods Law. Redefining Gods word is bitterly cursing Gods magnificent creation. Gods saints enter into blessing through a eternal covenant signed in noble blood. God has promptly destroyed the violent attack of the devil by subjecting Himself in harms way to faithfully deliver His people. He has sworn to the satisfaction of Christ to His own hurt that He would always be compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love toward His saints.
This Psalm is teaching the curse of the law has been gifted to us by our dear Father to oppose the violent threat. We are naturally immune to the danger living in this cursed world. Because we are, nevertheless, sinners, we are inherently deficient in ourselves to overcome the curse of sin. We must intentionally expose our deep wounds by rising up in pronouncing the curses. God has implanted His law as the back bone of our spiritual health. We must rise up in the pronouncements to profitably grow in our personal judgements. Increasingly we enable to miraculously escape the unacceptable violence of the curse and find refuge in God.
