Why do people who have been gifted with God's protective law suffer considerably on this earth, when barbarous people who fraudulently obtain the most violent and destructive control of the corrupt governments? The first reason God decided from eternity past to realistically be the only one who positively asserts the exclusive right to shorten a man's life, is what makes this suffering so difficult to understand. If everyone who was violent and rebellious against God's Law was swiftly taken from the earth, the righteous would not feel helpless. God decided to delay pronouncement of eternal death to the wicked until the day of independent judgement. What's more, God's standard of divine justice completely silences all those who are resolutely opposed to His divine government.What the law does to law breakers is not always enough to stop the spread of evil. This is because some people who become corrupt rulers use the law to further their evil reign. The only way God's demands are met is when the wicked promptly receive the grave punishment which is the dreadful curse. We find ourselves as God's chosen people frustrated by the success of corrupt rulers. This Psalm is not teaching that we must merely wait until the harsh judgement. The Psalmist pronounces the curses as future judgement in God speaking pronouncements on the wicked. He will bind them in hell and suffer for all eternity.In this Psalm, God is frank about the authoritative pronouncements of future judgement. His curses are not dependent on possible time or private space. Predetermined justice will be carried out on men who have been judiciously chosen for eternal punishment.The pronouncements are spoken as if Christ, who lowered Himself and walked the earth, who was, moreover, the creator and the ruler over all things, ordered all things as He walked the earth, is making them. According to these authoritative pronouncements, this is the holistic disposition of saints who become proficient in pronouncing curses.God gave us His eternal law as a gift, so that we could rule and subdue the earth. This law gives us the ability to enjoy the gifts of the law, covenants, promises, curses and statutes. Given to us to unite our desires with gifts, God caused the earth according to these pronouncements. But God also ordered all things by a considerably more superior understanding. However, the Psalms inseparably unite our sincere desires to subdue fruitful earth and uniting finite understanding with God eternal purposes. We are exceptionally gifted with holistic unity of intended purposes with eternal purposes.What we who are corrupt and sinful can do is unite in order to be eagerly consumed by God's desires. The authoritative pronouncements spoken as God's word is eternal. It supersedes all other world views. God does not share His perfect glory with any man. He rules over all necessary things according to His decretive will. These authoritative pronouncements are "Yea" and "Amen." This Psalm is voluntarily spoken as if we were undoubtedly standing on the other side and were present in the final judgement. The Psalmist adequately expresses the unbounded confidence that he commands as if the final judgement was present in all of Israel's victories.91 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your unerring hand, but it will not come near you.8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked."What we see when we compare the pestilence that overcomes a flock of birds with God's final pronouncement and the sending off of each man into judgement, is that speaking these objective realities will inseparably unite the future judgement with our present confidence. Every time we confront an enemy and speak the pronouncements, they pronounce us an added reward in future judgement. We prosper as the world is sinking deeper and deeper into wickedness.
