Why does the Psalmist present such authoritative statements that God accurately represent the only Person in this world that we can trust? He is not indeed saying we can depend on God for salvation but must rely on men in this world. Would not it be logical to grant man some sufficient credit for our success? If God fashioned them, they would be a reflection of God's attributes? Why doesn't the Psalmist say that God has comfortably established the world and graciously allowed it to prosper through common grace? After all we must establish some value in the decisions of men to get along in this world. But the Psalmist is carefully describing the world as the king who has promptly destroyed nations by faithfully carrying out the ultimate judgement in the curse. The bankrupt nations who shamelessly exploited the people by unlawfully taking bribes.
If the nations continue to oppress their people by extortion then God would not be righteous in governing His divine creation.You see the Psalmist is not trusting in his prepared military or his formidable weapons. He is using God's authoritative pronouncements in a successful war to combat the extensive abuse. Consequently when the Psalmist presents statements in knowingly allowing God all the value in devaluing the aggressive nation's he is reasserting God maintains a scale of justice.He is not ignoring any of the specific abuses. Hence, the Psalmist adequately develops an aggressive defense that God will set the scales right!Psa 62:1 My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him."
Psa 62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress. I will never be shaken.The Psalmist is no merely describing his experience. He remains the king writing the divine prophecy of judgment on the bankrupt nation's before he wrecks them. He repeatedly speaks God decreed the destruction by the curse in His eternal counsel. You see nothing was left out of the prosecuting counsel of God. The axioms are eternal pronouncements that cannot be thwarted. The authoritative pronouncements undoubtedly encourage us to sincerely believe God has already obtained the assured victory before the event takes place. If Christ has taken control of all things the axioms pronounce the victory over all things. God does not speak any uncertain counsel!
