 PS 60 1 You have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us;you have been angry--now restore us!2 You have shaken the land and torn it open;mend its fractures, for it is quaking." Gods anger is consistently expressed in terrible disasters of creation. The Psalmist is pronouncing the eternal curses of accurate recreation. My plea is secured by life and death pronouncements in describing the earth quake developing cracks to swallow the opposition. God must miraculously restore the nation by carefully securing the abundant blessing and cursing together.

 60 3 You have shown your people desperate times;you have given us wine that makes us stagger.4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.Selah" God naturally gave us a self-attesting gospel. If we carefully apply the everlasting gospel in law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises, we will not turn the understandable anger on ourselves and gain relief through lifelong addictions. God gave us the banner of an effective army to efficiently eliminate our opposition by pronouncing the curses.

 60 5 Save us and help us with your right hand,that those you love may be delivered." God carefully applies the law, covenant, curses, decrees, statutes, and promises in our adequate defense. He merely describes the wicked bring shame into the private lives of the gentle saints. God resolutely defends us with a good report. But He merely describes the wicked as spreading violence and spying on the righteous. God always defends the preserved remnant.

60 6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:"In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;Ephraim is my helmet,Judah my scepter.8 Moab is my washbasin,upon Edom I toss my sandal;over Philistia I shout in triumph."9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?Who will lead me to Edom?" The Psalmist is teaching the cities with men, and weapons are controlled by God. The local population and the local city governments are in Gods hand. Elected leaders are useless. If God does not respond, Israel will be prevented.

60 10 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?11 Give us aid against the enemy,for the help of man is worthless.12 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. "Have you ever looked up to God and said with a stern voice. "The help of man is worthless?" If you have not, you are making idols of powerless sinners who slant the truth for their purposes. The pronounced curse is developing real convictions by the obnoxious attitude of the pride of man.
