The Psalmist teaches that the hands represent the character that separates the righteous and the wicked. The righteous oppose the wicked by God's law. The law curses lawbreakers. The righteous have Christ as a substitute. We speak the curses to destroy the power of the wicked. If we argue that God chooses to upend the power of the wicked, then why does God give us the curses? Vengeance belongs to God, who curses the wicked. Those curses are used by the apostles and prophets. The Lord responds to the pronouncements.The Psalmist is praying for protection from the harm that the wicked can inflict with their hands. The hands are often used as a weapon of violence.God is not pragmatic. Pragmatism is the belief that the best course of action is the one that maximizes practical benefits. This often means that we have to accept unanswered questions and adjust our attitude according to the solution of the problem at hand. However, in God's thinking, all opposition is corrupted. This is why God determined good and bad in His choice of blessing and cursing. We are not like God because we do not have perfect knowledge of all things. God is able to choose with perfect knowledge, but we do not know the extent of our own corruption or the corruption of others. We are always trusting in a person or situation with partial blindness. If God left us without being able to come to His line of blessing and cursing then we would not be able to apply truth as we understand it. But God has given us truth so that we are able to apply it. The world would be in complete confusion if we could not apply the truth. The question is, how do we apply truth in a biblical way? How do we avoid pragmatic applications of truth?We were not created to make decisions based on practicality or what would be most beneficial for us in the world. When God makes a decision, He does not base it on the person involved. He makes it based on whether the person deserves blessing or cursing. God does not oppose anything with moral power. The object of His choice is either worthy or unworthy. He simply curses the unworthy object. So we can conclude that there is nothing alive that opposes God.We make judgements based on what we hear, think, see, or touch. We are pragmatic and make decisions based on what is true. We are not omniscient, omnipresent, or omnipotent, but we are still responsible for making moral choices based on what God has said in His commandments. This is why He gave us His principles as He spoke them when He created and recreated the world.
