God arranged all necessary things in His eternal counsel.He is holy because everything is spoken into peaceful existence.He has designed all things graciously according to His law, covenants, statutes, curses, decrees and promises. All of creation is secured firmly upon Gods axioms. The creation is proof God is not pragmatic. All of elaborate creation must rise up to the objective standard of blessing or be properly judged by the authoritative pronouncement of the law. Gods purposes in scientifically establishing all things must never be measured or arbitrarily changed. Consequently, the Psalmist is teaching that God orders all things according to His fixed judgements.1b " The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved."
The creation is spoken by God pronouncing the axioms.God has objectively determined the beginning from the end in His eternal counsel. Even tho the exposed earth is subject to the destructive process of prolonged decline yet each change in the decline of a thing rises up to the continuous line of blessing or cursing. Because man lives in cruel bondage to time, he merely experiences sorrow, fear, anxiety and pain. The Psalmist is teaching our inherent desires morally oppose to the axioms. In this Psalm we are wisely directed that our sole hope of obtaining guaranteed security and stability is Gods eternal judgements. The waves show the rising and falling of extraordinary power to exercise His blessing and cursing.
The continual repetition of the waves shows that all of official
history is dependent upon the fixed judgements of God in the divine
blessing and cursing. 4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea- the LORD on high is mighty."
He is objectively comparing the waves rising up to the authoritative voice of God in pronouncing the axioms. 3The seas have lifted up, O LORD , the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves"
The mighty waves naturally produce a thunderous boom as they intentionally crash against the sea so also the divine power of God in pronouncing the axioms is sure and steadfast. All of creation is instantly ordered like the constant movement of sea as the waves roll. God rises up to blessing and cursing in reestablishing His axiom
The Psalmist is comparing the mighty waves to our unique experience of speaking the axioms. We are made to earnestly seek after blessing. But when we are fiercely opposed, we are naturally forced to descending into the acute sorrows of this brutal world.
So we are pronouncing a blessing and cursing to rise up to the unity of
all things or push the sorrows down in descending into the trial to
curse the wicked curse. Our lives are unique experience like the waves rising and descending into the mighty sea. When we speak the axioms, our comparative security is fixed as the mighty waves make the loud boom. The Psalmist is teaching Gods holiness is His eternal pronouncement that has brought all things into existence for the divine purpose of blessing or cursing. All of the experiences have already been fixed in this independent judgement. 5Your statutes stand firm;holiness adorns your house for endless days, O LORD .
