The Psalmist accurately captures the humble prayer for help from those who are considered saints. What he is teaching is that sin is the root cause of violence in the world, and that by carefully teaching people about sin, we can prevent the spread of violence. 11 5" The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.27 12" Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.58 2 No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth."The Psalmist pleads with God to judge the wicked according to their sin and corruption, which are the signs of their violent nature. He acknowledges that saints are not perfect, but he asks that God's justice prevail in the war against them.What the Psalmist is doing is standing respectfully in the sacred place of responsible saints. He is morally justifying their need for protection.Saints who are recognized by others are never described as being violent or threatening. The only time they can be seen as being violent is when they are in a legal war, and even then they are only seen as being violent because they have objective justification. What opposition they face usually comes from sin, which is what caused violence to enter the world of the heathen. God searches the hearts and minds of those who are wicked, and has done so since the beginning of time. It is the wicked who have always devised evil plans to try to overthrow the laws set by God, as well as the saints who are recognized by others.If God were to look at each thought that naturally produced the present opposition and judge the nefarious plans of the wicked, the saints would overcome all violence. The modern saints would live peacefully in a secure city. We must disclose everything down to aggressive communication that works out into sinister plans. If the wicked did not exist, there would realistically be no specific incident of strategically planning their criminal deeds. When the saints struggle, we are always at war with an authoritarian culture devised by perverse generations of wicked men. What we need to think about is how much restoration will be needed to change the course of generations of violence. This means changing the rules and communication in society, which would be beyond the human justice system. This is the political frustration of the saints. They inevitably encounter relentless opposition that must be justly punished, even though it may seem impossible. This is why God curses law breakers. The man obstinately maintains that there is no proper authority to reverse the gradual evolution of diabolical schemes that have inevitably suffered frustrating years of aggressive implementation. But what he doesn't realize is that God's Law was never violated without God's avenging. God's law that curses evil men is always the same, even if delayed to the day of judgement.
