The Psalmist is describing the eternal kingdom in a way that makes it clear the wicked naturally respond to God and the law by redefining and aggressively opposing them. What makes God's kingdom alone is that He speaks His sacred word. The Psalmist describes the wicked who bitterly oppose the sacred word as cursing in their hardened hearts because their passive and active rebellion realistically is the wicked curse. "His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue." The Psalmist does not describe moral evil in a strictly moral sense.What the Psalmist is carefully teaching is that there is only one objective reality, opposed by evil imaginations. This is a much greater problem than the other realm, which is man's redefinition in impenetrable darkness. The political realm of dreadful darkness devalues God's creation and active recreation, and its political violence is practiced in oppressive government in the rebellious spirit of ruthless destruction. This is not just an argument that bitterly opposes sacred words- this haughty spirit remains in isolation, a fruitless attempt to spread blame in brutally attacking God for the acute problems of recognized saints. What makes people born bad is a harsh voice that bitterly curses lawful government. The only way to be saved is through God. And personal salvation is still an incredibly valuable thing that God gives to His chosen ones. God established the divine authority of chosen kings and priests of the Most High. His official opposition to the wicked is described as being thrown down from his kingly position. The value that God places on His chosen ones gives them the ability to exercise authority through pronouncements that are absolute. These authoritative pronouncements instantly extinguish the organized opposition of the wicked. What makes a saint faithful is their ability to put the extraordinary gifts of the divine laws and curses into effect, using them as protection against evil curses. Eternal salvation and sacred honor come from God. His honor is satisfactorily established through the applicable law in fighting and winning Israel's wars. God, as the rock, painstakingly restores honor to the recognized saints. The rock delivers the Psalmist in the lifelong battle. The spoils of successful war with God's active curse that intentionally destroys all opposition. After God instantly destroys His formidable enemies, the Psalmist retreats behind the impenetrable walls and genuinely enjoys the eternal peace of miraculous deliverance. God is our mighty fortress.What the Psalmist accurately describes is the personal struggles of recognized saints in the devaluing of eternal kingdom by the wicked. This key phrase is in the proper form of a eternal curse: "Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath." All men are naturally born to extort their longtime neighbor for profit. "Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods;" hence, the heathen world is under the prolonged spell to scarcely escape the devaluing of Gods created eternal kingdom. They do not thoroughly grasp the priceless value of Gods curses. The wicked erroneously believes saints are a pox on authoritarian society. But God redefines the moral agents in blessing and preserving the ideal world. He repays saints with rewards only. He establishes covenants and provides a paternal inheritance. This Psalm is not resting in the practical sense of "kicking back" in bodily rest. The authority of saints to reasonably argue and properly obtain absolute dominance over the imaginary kingdom of man. We perform this by pronouncing the kings language. He says that one God has spoken and two I have heard. What is extraordinary is that this is backed up with two sacred promises. The promise of eternal reward is backed up with God's laws, eternal decrees, covenants, and promises as moral authority of mighty kings and priests. All other reasoning and negative descriptions will befall an imaginative world. Therein we sufficiently rest in God alone.
