The Psalmist is comparing the accurate value that God places on all creation with the official history of the degenerate world as the pervasive culture becomes godless and cheapens elaborate creation. We are naturally born in a violent world of extortion. God has issued moral law to deliver us from devaluing creation. When we devalue creation, we enslave the frail creatures. Gods justice is accurately measured by the eternal scale of necessary addition and subtraction. Every wicked thought of man from the beginning of time is weighed in the balance of divine justice. When man fell hopelessly into sin God, pronounce death upon all law breakers to forcibly prevent the personal success of the devaluing effects of sin and corruption. We are all being extorted of our pristine glory in the ruined garden and enslaved to sin and rampant corruption.
God standard of divine justice is man must practice perfect righteous to persistently avoid being a stumbling block to his peaceful neighbor. We are required to image the perfect value of the law keeper. But when we were reduced to an unusually minute percentage of our ability, we began to devalue Gods creature and therefore foster our own image of other creatures. When we shamelessly promote our own images, we enslave other corrupt men. We all face the acute tension of devaluing divine creation and thus bringing pain into mutual relationships. Consequently, God had to pronounce severe measures to efficiently deliver us from ourselves. He had to promptly destroy our old will and instantly replace it with His will. This new will is accurately expressed in pronouncing Gods Law, decrees, curses, etc. This new will faithfully represent the peaceful expression of genuine freedom over all opposition. These new desires uniquely expressed in the psalms accurately represent the renewed kingdom destroying Satan's kingdom.
Without pronouncing these extreme words we are forsaken to be sorely tempted by corruption to merely establish our own kingdom with our own values. We must be constrained. We must be properly advised to value the authoritative pronouncements more than our own success. Without the authoritative pronouncements we are forsaken to our own devices, will invariably become our own gods and grievously injure our neighbor. When we become our own gods, we practice political slavery severely diminishing the value of our neighbor. When we become our own gods, we curse ourselves, bring personal pain and acute misery.
This is why the pronouncements are the metaphysical powers that create
the kingdom of God which we rule by creating unity in our culture. When we create unity all men are miraculously restored to authentic value.
