It is a common belief that when we sin, God will abandon us. However, the complaints about God's anger or rejection in the Psalms are not referring to the context of salvation in a personal relationship, but rather salvation in absolute terms. Salvation is physical deliverance from a deadly wound in war. God's wrath is carried out according to His justice. He cannot hate His own work that His Son accomplished – it would be like cursing Himself. In other words, even though we may sin, God will still save us because He is just and cannot bear to see His own work undone.Many people use this language imprecisely. However, the Psalms were written to be uttered, not studied in a classroom setting. They are written in the language of absolute context, using various forms of speech. They are written as hate speech directed by God's people toward the destruction wrought by the wicked. The Psalmist's general attitude is one of absolute hatred, expressed by God in cursing. Therefore, if the anger was directed toward God's covenant people, the identity of the prosecution would be irrelevant.This is why there can only be one path leading to eternal life, and not two paths - one leading to destruction and the other leading to eternal life. To love God is to be absolutely opposed to anything and everything that God is opposed to. To love one's neighbor is to express the full anger of God toward his destruction. Love and hate, when used as positive redeeming attitudes, are absolute. Only the two line approach teaches that hate is good in bringing righteousness. When the Psalmist complains about a problem, he does so in absolute terms. There are no pragmatic expressions in the Psalms.27 9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior". The Psalmist is speaking from the perspective of a prosecutor, and by alluding to the death and destruction he sees on the battlefield, he is enforcing the curse. This is like saying, "If I forget Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill." This statement is emphasizing how trusting God's faithfulness is on His side of the covenant. The same thing is happening here, where he is experiencing the pain of the curse like all of the enemy lying on the ground dead.The Psalmist is expressing a desire to experience the pain of the curse rather than forgetting about Jerusalem, and is trusting in God's faithfulness to keep His side of the covenant.
