I appreciate the Psalmist's perspective that there is a difference between practicing selflessness and hating oneself; the latter of which can occur when we let our opposition triumph over us. I believe that this is an important distinction to make, as it highlights the fact that our salvation was obtained by God, who is proving the worth of His work through our success. This is not to say that God is long-suffering, but rather that He does not curse Himself to prove His point.Thus, the Psalms teach us that we can overcome opposition by cursing the curse. In other words, we would give up anything for God's glory to be on display. We are always being blessed by God through our rule in the axioms that we value the power and authority over the things of this earth. A man who deserts his post as a soldier is a traitor. So we must save ourselves in order to save others.The Psalmist is always asking God for protection, because if he were to die, he would no longer be able to proclaim the truths of the faith. In this eternal relationship with God, we experience the highest pleasure and overcome the strongest foes. God promises to give us spiritual gifts, which are limitless. We are always being drawn into the covenant agreement so that we share in all of these eternal things. We would never stop proclaiming the truths of the faith.7 according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD."
