The Psalmist is carefully teaching us that we are intimately related to God through the creation covenant. What God naturally produces and instantly orders are all the necessary things to faithfully deliver His elect. The justified anger God displays is to the wicked who are not part of His eternal kingdom. God adopted considered saints into His noble family with reasonable security of a Father who established orders all possible things for our ultimate good and His eternal glory. Prominently displayed in Psalming 4, God's elect deal with their anger like God's anger.When wicked people redefine the law and make heathen idols, we should be angry, because they are overturning the express purpose of God's pleasure in ruling over the created things. The wicked are re-imaging the created things and putting people in cruel bondage. You see, when wicked man sinned, the curse spoke sternly of eternal condemnation to law breakers.The cutting instrument God convincingly showed eternal anger killing the active opposition to eternal kingdom by cursing the divine creation. What's more, the only hope of reestablishing the beneficial relationship was through slaughter and death.God delivered a necessary sacrifice to His elect as an effective instrument to ample vengeance on the wicked who resurrected the power of death. They give powers to the created things in unreasonable anger toward God and considered saints. What they do is "in your anger, kill the sacrificial animal." We carefully manipulate law to silence opposition. Because divine vengeance rightfully belongs to God, we cannot formulate a pragmatic system of criminal violence. The Psalmist deals with justified anger by cursing the wicked. Without the curse, we are in personal danger of exterminating the entire human race. Everything we have is delivered by God for His own goodness.Therefore, the Psalmist rightly complains in the proper context of God's extraordinary Fatherly care as the continuous creation typically encompasses God's noble house. God's eternal curse of the law is evidenced in the established order of divine creation and the official protection of elect in proactively working for their ultimate good. Typically, God's law is not a necessary instrument for measuring necessary powers. However, God is perfect and absolutely justified at all possible times.What the divine law does is curse and bless people in this life. The trials we face in this life come from the curse of the divine law. The Psalmist often complains because he sees the destructive force of the wicked curse all around him, and he knows that these are the unavoidable consequences of following the law. But he faithfully follows the law anyway, because he knows it is the only way to accurately judge the heathen world.
