The question is why does the Psalmist describe the righteous as people who are non assertive? There are no aggressive characteristics in his personality. A blameless man in terms of the way he speaks God's truth from his heart. He spends most of his time speaking according to the law, covenants, curses, decrees, promises, and statutes. If there is any aggression expressed, it is through his meditation. The problem of sin is not just a violation of God's law but it is also violence expressed to one's neighbor. So the Psalmist has learned how to deal with sin in the pronouncement of the curse. He has no reason to be competitive or aggressive. Instead of sharing bad news or the sins of others, he goes out of his way to describe his neighbor in positive words. He has taught himself to only speak words of blessings and curses, and leaves judgement to God. He does not even make sly remarks about his neighbor.The Psalmist here is teaching that it is important to keep one's oaths, even if it means despising a vile man. This is because a righteous man knows how to distinguish a covenant breaker by the curses they incur. To be blessed is to curse the evil curse. Covenant keepers curse the wicked. The pronouncement of the curse is more important than the loss.God creates all things according to their inherent value. He never devalues His creatures. However, man often does not treat his neighbor according to God's value system. This is why the law says to love your neighbor as you love yourself. God knows that all men are prone to extorting their neighbor. But He has given us a perfect self hatred in the axioms. We would rather curse according to the law than to take a bribe against the innocent. You see the worse evils in God's view are not the personal sins but the sins in using our neighbor for our own profit. All nations turn God's law upside down by practicing bribery.We must be careful to pronounce the axioms correctly in order to be defended, because we seek to avoid offending rather than to be aggressive. This is why the axioms are so aggressive.
