Ps 57 I am in the midst of lions;I lie among ravenous beasts-men whose teeth are spears and arrows,whose tongues are sharp swords.The Psalmist is teaching that evil started in the garden when the serpent redefined Gods word. Gen. 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"It was a direct contradiction since God said that they could eat of every tree except one tree. The violence remains not a direct threat.It was concealed in one sentence whose purpose was to methodically destroy mans authority of ruling the created world through Gods sacred word. The war between moral good and evil accurately represent a war of Satan subject to Gods eternal life and death kingdom. This is why the serpent is accurately described as being crafty. He is speaking with the intent to shatter our confidence in Gods axioms. 

 The genesis account carefully teaches us God produced all things graciously according to the order of sacred words. There is nothing identical in the magnificent creation. Consequently, God carefully composed the key difference in all things with a purpose of accurately describing them in the more complex language of His axioms.God has graciously given us the axioms as the familiar outline of His more extensive knowledge so that we can faithfully recreate the considerable disorder that was introduced by the Serpent. Self-knowledge accurately represent understanding the axioms and being led by God through specific applications to our complex lives as we are sufficiently illuminated by the Spirit. We are in a cosmic war with the clever devil who pronounces destructive violence in warring with our pronouncements of the axioms. The axioms are not written as persuasive arguments to establish the truth but as authoritative pronouncements to silence the redefinition of Gods word. When we eliminate the erroneous ideas then we sufficiently learn to mercifully hide in the axioms. We depend entirely on a credible source that is not in this world.
