Ps 28 2 Hear my cry of mercy when I ask for your help, when I raise my hands to your most holy place. 3 Do not drag me down with the wicked, with those who do evil, with those who speak kindly to their neighbors. but they hide wickedness in their hearts. The psalmist teaches that praise, confession, petition, and weakness are orthodox in the context of laws, covenants, curses, statutes, promises, and ordinances. That is why it is more important for us to know our condition. who are supposed to be obsessed with our confession. There are as many kinds of creeds in the Psalms as there are axioms. God focuses on proper communication so that we are real in everything we struggle with. You want a mechanical approach. The Pharisees neglected the holistic use of the axioms. They just repeated mechanical sentences. But the axioms create the interaction between God and us. This is why the psalmist uses curses in confession.Pay them for what they do ... give them back what they deserve. We have to build one commandment on top of another.
