The Psalmist is emphasizing the importance of meditating on the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises, and decrees of God. He is stressing that through this discipline, we become very familiar with God's searching. God searches us according to our knowledge of His word. When we pronounce the axioms, God reorders our frustrations by meeting our desire according to His decrees from eternity past. The Psalmist has been encouraged to speak the axioms that have become the communication of his heart. Overwhelmed by the mystery of how God can use eternal proclamation to order even the simplest actions, like sitting. He has a sense that, in pursuing God, he is also being pursued. He has become aware that God is present in all aspects of life, even the most mundane activities. The Psalmist has learned to react to the circumstances of life through the axioms, or core truths. There is no activity that is separated from his meditation.from the perspective of God's eternal truths, the desires of his heart are in line with those truths. He does not express frustration that God is withholding anything or working against his desires, because the truths are not constrained by time or space. So the Psalmist expresses confidence and control over the world in agreement with God's eternal purposes.The question is: What is the one thing we need the most in life? We need to know that God is in control of our lives. So, the Psalmist has experienced the power of God through the words of his body. As he pronounces the axioms, he is moved by the power of God. We say that the axioms contain the reality of God's eternal powers, in which the Psalmist is contained.The main frustration in life is feeling like God is distant and uninvolved. We often feel like He comes and goes as He pleases, without any regard for our needs or feelings. However, the Psalmist reminds us that God is always present, even when we can't see Him or feel His presence. His word is a guide for our lives, and His thoughts are what move us forward.The axioms are eternal truths. The Psalmist has experienced the power over time and space. He is saying that he has experienced the highest points of the heavens and the lowest depths of the earth. The curses push the lowest depths down under his feet.
